MIDI menu
Open Key Editor
This opens the Key Editor for the selected MIDI part(s) or
track(s). This editor consists of a piano-roll type graphic
interface, with the notes shown as boxes in a grid.
Scores
This opens a submenu, allowing you to open the Score
editor and containing several Score Editor functions. The
Score Editor shows MIDI notes as a musical score.
Open Drum Editor
This opens the Drum Editor which is designed especially
for editing drum and percussion tracks.
Open List Editor
This opens the List Editor. In this editor, MIDI notes, con-
trollers and other events are shown in a list.
Over Quantize
Quantizing is a function that automatically moves re-
corded notes, positioning them on exact note values. This
quantizes the selected MIDI parts or notes, according to
the current Quantize pop-up menu setting.
Iterative Quantize
Instead of moving a note to the closest quantize grid posi-
tion, Iterative Quantize moves it only part of the way. You
specify how much the notes should be moved towards the
grid with the Iterative Strength setting in the Quantize
Setup dialog.
Quantize Setup
In the Quantize Setup dialog you can make various quan-
tize settings.
Advanced Quantize
Quantize Lengths
This will quantize the length of the notes without changing
their start positions. At its most basic level, this function
will set the length of the notes to the Length Quantize
value on the toolbar of the MIDI editors.
Quantize Ends
The Quantize Ends function on the Quantize submenu will
only affect the end positions of notes. Apart from that, it
works just like regular quantizing, taking the Quantize pop-
up menu setting into account.
Undo Quantize
You can revert the selected MIDI notes to their original,
unquantized state at any time. This is independent from
the regular Undo History.
Freeze Quantize
There may be situations when you want to make the quan-
tized positions “permanent”. For example, you may want to
quantize notes a second time, having the results based on
the current quantized positions rather than the original po-
sitions. To make this possible, select the notes in question
and use this function.
Transpose…
This opens the Transpose dialog, where you can make
transpose settings for selected notes.
Merge MIDI in Loop
This combines all MIDI events between the left and right
locator on all unmuted tracks and generates a new MIDI
part, containing all the events as you would hear them play
back. The new part will end up on the selected track, be-
tween the locators. You are asked whether to overwrite
(erase) the data on the destination track.
Freeze MIDI Modifiers
This function applies all filter settings to the respective
track and (in contrast to Merge MIDI in Loop) takes the re-
sult as the new standard.
Dissolve Part
This item has two uses:
• To separate events according to MIDI channel when a
MIDI Part contains events on different channels (MIDI
channel “Any”).
• To separate MIDI events according to pitch.
Drum tracks typically have separate drum sounds for each pitch.
