The MIDI editors
You can edit the values on the info line using regular value
editing. This allows you to move, resize, transpose or
change velocity of events in a very precise manner. It is
also possible to click the Pitch or Velocity field in the info
line and play a note on your MIDI keyboard – the pitch or
velocity will be adjusted according to the note you played.
Ö If you have several events selected and change a value,
all selected events will be changed by the set amount.
Ö If you have several events selected, hold down [Ctrl]/
[Command] and change a value, the change will be abso-
lute.
In other words, the value setting will be the same for all selected events.
How the Key Editor handles drum maps
When a drum map is assigned to a MIDI or instrument track
(see “Working with drum maps” on page 361), the Key Ed-
itor will display the drum sound names as defined by the
drum map.
In Cubase, the name of the drum sound is displayed in the
following locations:
This allows you to use the Key Editor for drum editing, e.g.
when editing drum note lengths (which may be necessary
for some external instruments) or when editing several
parts, to identify drum events.
How the Key Editor handles Expression maps
When an expression map is assigned to a MIDI track (see
the chapter “VST Expression” on page 372), the Key Editor
will display the musical articulations defined for that map, in
the following locations:
For more information, see the chapter “VST Expression”
on page 372.
