The MIDI editors
• You can edit several events at once. If several events
are selected and you edit a value for one event, the other
selected events’ values will be changed as well.
Normally, any initial value differences between the events will be main-
tained – i. e. the values will change by the same amount. If you press [Ctrl]/
[Command] when you edit, however, all events will get the same value.
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 SysEx messages” on page 407).
Ö When you trim the beginning of a note in the List Editor,
the note may move to a different position in the list (since
other events may now begin before the edited event).
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
Event Colors pop-up menu on the toolbar.
This affects how all MIDI events are shown in the MIDI editors, see “Col-
oring notes and events” on page 382.
• To delete an event, select it and press [Backspace] or
[Delete], or click on it with the Erase tool in the event dis-
play.
Filtering
The Filters bar is displayed below the toolbar in the List
Editor. It contains two sections. On the left, you can find
controls for setting up complex filters, and on the right,
you can exclude certain event types from being displayed.
• To show or hide the Filters bar, click the “Set up Win-
dow Layout” button on the toolbar and activate or deacti-
vate the Filters option.
The Show section (complex filtering)
On the left of the Filters bar, you find the Show pop-up
menu. This can be used to filter the event display based
on complex criteria. Proceed as follows:
1. Select one or more events that have the desired prop-
erties.
2. Pull down the Show pop-up menu and select one of
the options.
• In the top section, the following options are available:
• Cubase only: In addition to these options, the menu also
gives you access to the presets available in the Logical
Editor. Using the “Setup…” item, you can directly open
the Logical Editor. In this editor, you can create very com
-
plex filter settings (see the chapter “The Logical Editor,
Transformer, and Input Transformer” on page 440).
When you apply any of the Logical presets or use the Log-
ical Editor to create filter settings yourself, only the events
that meet the specified criteria will be visible.
Option Description
No Focus Select this to deactivate this filtering function.
Event Types Only events of the same type as the selected events will
be shown. This is the same as activating event types in
the Hide section.
Event Types

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 are shown. If a
controller event is selected, only controllers of the same
type are shown.
Event
Channels
Only events with the same MIDI channel value as the se-
lected event will be shown.
