Editing in the controller display
About controller lanes
By default, the controller display has a single lane, show-
ing one event type at a time. However, you can add lanes
by clicking the plus button or by opening the Quick con-
text menu and selecting “Create new controller lane”. The
use of several controller lanes allows you to view and edit
different controllers at the same time.
The controller display with three lanes set up
• To remove a lane, click on the minus sign or open the
context menu and select “Remove this Lane”.
This hides the lane from view – it does not affect the events in any way.
• If you remove all lanes, the controller display will be
completely hidden.
To bring it back again, select “Create new controller lane” from the con-
text menu.
• Editing the events in the controller display is much like
editing automation data on an automation track in the Pro-
ject window (except for velocity values, see “Editing velo-
city values” on page 352).
Selecting the event type
Each controller lane shows one event type at a time. To
select which type should be displayed, use the pop-up
menu to the left of the lane.
• Selecting “Setup…” opens a dialog in which you can
specify which continuous controller event types should be
available on the pop-up menu.
• Each MIDI track has its own controller lane setup (num-
ber of lanes and selected event types).
When you create new tracks, they get the controller lane setup used last.
