The Project Browser
The list columns for audio parts:
Creating audio parts
When the “Audio” item of an audio track is selected in the
Project Structure list, you can create empty audio parts on
the track by clicking the Add button on the toolbar. This
will insert a part between the left and right locator.
Editing MIDI tracks
Just like audio tracks, MIDI tracks can have two “sub-
items”: Track Data and Automation.
• The Track Data item corresponds to the actual MIDI track in
the Project window and can contain MIDI parts (which in turn
can contain MIDI events).
• The Automation item corresponds to the automation subtrack
in the Project window, and contains the track’s automation
events (see “Editing Automation tracks” on page 411).
Note that if you have not performed any automation or
opened an automation subtrack, the Browser will only
contain the MIDI data.
When editing the Track Data, the following parameters are
available:
The list columns for MIDI events:
Offset This determines “where in the audio clip” the event starts.
Adjusting this value is the same as sliding the contents of
the event in the Project window (see “Sliding the con-
tents of an event or part” on page 50).
You can only specify positive Offset values, since the
event cannot start before the start of the clip. Likewise, it
cannot end after the end of the clip. If the event already
plays the whole clip, the Offset cannot be adjusted at all.
Volume The volume of the event, as set with the Volume handle or
on the info line in the Project Window.
Fade In
Fade Out
The length of the fade-in and fade-out areas respectively.
If you use these settings to add a fade (where there pre-
viously was none), a linear fade will be created. If you ad-
just the length of an existing fade, the previous fade
shape will be maintained.
Mute Click in this column to mute or unmute the event.
Image Displays a waveform image of the event inside a gray box
corresponding to the clip. The image is scaled according
to the width of the column.
Parameter Description
Name The name of the part. Double-clicking on the part symbol
beside it opens the Audio Part Editor for the part.
Start The start position of the part. Editing this value is the
same as moving the part in the Project window.
End The end position of the part. Editing this value is the same
as resizing the part in the Project window.
Length The length of the part. Editing this value is the same as
resizing the part in the Project window.
Offset This adjusts the start position of the events within the
part. Adjusting this value is the same as sliding the con-
tents of the part in the Project window (see “Sliding the
contents of an event or part” on page 50). Setting a pos-
itive Offset value is the same as sliding the contents to
the left, while a negative Offset corresponds to sliding
the contents to the right.
Mute Click in this column to mute or unmute the part.
Parameter Description
Parameter Description
Type The type of MIDI event. This cannot be changed.
Start The position of the event. Editing this value is the same as
moving the event.
End This is only used for note events, allowing you to view and
edit the end position of a note (thereby resizing it).
Length This is only used for note events. It shows the length of
the note – changing this resizes the note and automati-
cally changes the End value as well.
Data 1 The property of this value depends on the type of MIDI
event:
For notes, this is the note number (pitch). This is dis-
played and edited as a note name and an octave number,
with the values ranging between C-2 and G8.
For Controller events, this is the type of Controller, dis-
played in words. Note that you can edit this by entering a
number – the corresponding Controller type is automati-
cally displayed.
For Pitch Bend events, this is the fine adjustment of the
bend amount.
For Poly Pressure events, this is the note number (pitch).
For other event types, this is the value of the event.
Data 2 The property of this value depends on the type of MIDI
event:
For notes, this is the note-on velocity.
For Controller events, this is the value of the event.
For Pitch Bend events, this is the coarse bend amount.
For Poly Pressure events, this is the amount of pressure.
For other event types, this is not used.
Channel The event’s MIDI Channel. See “Notes” on page 82.
Comment This column is used for some event types only, providing
an additional comment about the event.
