The MIDI editors
Ö For SysEx (system exclusive) events, you can only edit
the position (Start) in the list.
However, when you click the Comment column, the MIDI SysEx Editor
opens, in which you can perform detailed editing of system exclusive
events (see “Working with System Exclusive messages” on page 368).
Editing in the event display
The event display allows you to edit the events graphically
using the tools on the toolbar. You can edit single events
as well as several selected events simultaneously.
• To move an event, click and drag it to a new position.
Note that moving the event past any other event in the display will re-sort
the list (the list always shows the events in the order they are played
back). As a result, the vertical position of the event in the display will
change as well.
• To make a copy of an event, press [Alt]/[Option] and
drag it to a new position.
• To resize a note, select it and drag its end point with the
Arrow tool as in the Project window.
This only works with notes.
• To mute or unmute an event, click on it with the Mute
tool.
You can mute or unmute several events in one go by enclosing them in a
selection rectangle with the Mute tool.
• You can select a color scheme for the events with the
Colors pop-up menu on the toolbar.
This affects how all MIDI events are shown in the List, Key and Drum Ed-
itors – see “Coloring notes and events” on page 344.
• To delete an event, select it and press [Backspace] or
[Delete], or click on it with the Eraser tool in the event dis-
play.
Filtering
Clicking the “Show Filter View” button on the toolbar
opens an additional filter bar that allows you to hide spe-
cific event types from view. For example, it may be hard to
find note events if the part contains a lot of controllers. By
hiding these, the list becomes more manageable.
• To hide an event type, activate its checkbox on the filter
view.
• To see one event type only (hide all other event types),
press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click its checkbox. If you
[Ctrl]/[Command]-click again, all checkboxes are cleared
(all events will be visible).
Ö The event types remain hidden even if you close the fil-
ter view.
To make sure you see all events, open the filter view and check that all
checkboxes are deactivated.
Ö The filter view does not remove, mute or change the
events in any way.
Masking
The Mask function is similar to the filter view but allows
you to hide events based on other criteria as well. Pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Select an event (or several events) of the type you want
to view.
2. Pull down the Mask pop-up menu on the toolbar and
select one of the options.
The results are as follows:
Option Description
Event Types Only events with the type of the selected event will be
shown. This does the same as the filter view but is
quicker if you only want to view a single event type.
Event Types
and Data 1
Only events of the same type and with the same “Data 1”
value will be shown. For example, if a note event is se-
lected, only notes with the same pitch will be shown. If a
controller event is selected, only controllers of the same
type will be shown.
Event Channels Only events with the same MIDI channel value as the se-
lected event will be shown.
