The Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer
In both cases, the button lights up and the Input Trans-
former opens.
Handling the four modules
The Input Transformer is really four separate transformers,
or modules.
• You select which module to view and make settings for
by clicking its button in the Selected Module section.
Module 2 selected for viewing and editing.
• The checkboxes in the Active Module section determine
which module(s) are active.
Here, modules 1, 2 and 4 are active.
The two modes
The Mode pop-up menu contains two options: Filter and
Transform.
• In Filter mode, only the filter conditions (the upper list)
are taken into account. All events matching the conditions
set up will be filtered out (excluded from the recording).
• In Transform mode, events matching the filter conditions
will be transformed according to the settings in the action
list (the lower list).
Setting up filtering and actions
This is done just like in the Logical Editor. Here is a brief
rundown:
• Click the Add Line buttons to add lines to the filter con-
dition list or action list.
To remove a line, click it to select it and click the Delete Line button to
the right.
• Clicking the columns in the filter condition list opens
pop-up menus allowing you to specify the conditions to
match.
• Clicking the columns in the action list opens pop-up
menus allowing you to specify what should be done to the
found events (when Transform mode is selected).
For detailed descriptions of the filter conditions and action
columns, see “General procedure” on page 369.
• Selecting the Init option from the Presets pop-up menu
will reset the selected module, removing all filter condition
and target list lines.
• The Input Transformer has no “Do It” button – the set-
tings are active as soon as you activate an Active Module
checkbox.
The settings made in the activated modules will affect all MIDI data you
record on the track.
Ö Closing the Input Transformer window does not turn it
off – you need to deactivate all Active Module checkboxes
for this!
A lit Input Transformer button in the Inspector indicates that one or more
modules are active.
