MIDI effects
Length
This sets the length of the echoed notes. This can either
be identical with the length of the original notes (parame-
ter set to its lowest value) or the length you specify manu-
ally. You can either set this to “rhythmically exact” values
(displayed as note values – see the table below) or activate
the PPQ button and choose a PPQ value.
Ö The length can also be affected by the Length Decay
parameter.
Length Decay
This parameter lets you adjust how the length of the
echoed notes should change with each successive re
-
peat. The higher the setting (25–100), the longer the
echoed notes will be, compared to their original notes.
About ticks and note values
The timing and position-related parameters (Delay, Length
and Beat Align) can all be set in ticks (or PPQ which de-
notes the same thing here). There are 480 ticks to each
quarter note. While the parameters allow you to step be-
tween the rhythmically relevant values (displayed as note
values), the following table can also be of help, showing
you the most common note values and their correspond

ing number of ticks:
MIDI Modifiers
This plug-in is essentially a duplicate of the MIDI Modifiers
section in the Inspector. This can be useful, for example, if
you need extra Random or Range settings.
The MIDI Modifiers effect also includes the “Scale Trans-
pose” function that is not available among the track pa-
rameters.
Scale Transpose
This allows you to transpose each incoming MIDI note, so
that it fits within a selected musical scale. The scale is
specified by selecting a key (C, C#, D, etc.) and a scale
type (major, melodic or harmonic minor, blues, etc.).
Ö To turn Scale Transpose off, select “No Scale” from
the Scale pop-up menu.
MIDI Monitor
The MIDI Monitor is used to monitor incoming MIDI events.
You can choose whether to analyze live or playback events
and which types of MIDI data are to be monitored. Use this,
for example, to analyze which MIDI events are being gener
-
ated by a MIDI track, or to find “suspicious” events, such as
notes with velocity 0 that certain MIDI devices might fail to
interpreted as note-off events.
