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 track in
the Project window, and contains the track’s automation
events (see “Editing Automation tracks” on page 417).
Note that if you have not performed any automation or
opened an automation track, the Browser will only contain
the MIDI data.
When editing the Track Data, the following parameters are
available:
The list columns for MIDI events
The list columns for MIDI parts
Ö For SysEx (system exclusive) events, you can only edit
the position (Start) in the list.
However, clicking the Comment column opens the SysEx Editor, in which
you can perform detailed editing of system exclusive events. For a descrip-
tion of this, see “Working with System Exclusive messages” on page 368.
Parameter Description
Name The name of the part. Double-clicking on the part symbol
beside it opens the part in the Audio Part Editor.
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 48). 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
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 Pitchbend 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 Pitchbend 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.
Parameter Description
Name The name of the part.
Start The start position of the part. Editing this value is the
same as moving the part.
End The end position of the part. Changing this is the same as
resizing the part (and will automatically affect the Length
value as well).
Length The length of the part. Changing this resizes the part and
automatically changes the End value.
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 48). 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.
