Functions
Legato
Extends each selected note so that it reaches the next
note. You can specify the desired gap or overlap with the
“Legato Overlap” setting in the Preferences (Editing
page).
Fixed Lengths
Resizes all selected notes to the length set with the
Length Quantize pop-up menu on the MIDI Editor toolbar.
Delete Doubles
Removes double notes, i.e. notes of the same pitch on the
exact same position. Double notes can occur when re-
cording in Cycle mode, after Quantizing, etc. This function
always affects whole MIDI parts.
Delete Controllers
Removes all MIDI controller events from the selected MIDI
parts. This function always affects whole MIDI parts.
Delete Continuous Controllers
Removes all continuous MIDI controller events from the
selected MIDI parts. On/Off events, such as sustain pedal
events, are not removed. This function always affects
whole MIDI parts.
Delete Notes…
Allows you to delete very short or weak notes. This is use-
ful for automatically removing unwanted “ghost notes” af-
ter recording. Selecting “Delete Notes…” opens a dialog
in which you set up the criteria for the function.
Restrict Polyphony
Selecting this item opens a dialog in which you can spec-
ify how many “voices” should be used (for the selected
notes or parts). Restricting the polyphony this way is use-
ful when you have an instrument with limited polyphony
and want to make sure all notes will be played. The effect
is achieved by shortening notes as required, so that they
end before the next note starts.
Pedals to Note Length
This function scans for sustain pedal on/off events,
lengthens the affected notes to match the sustain pedal
off position, and then removes the Sustain Controller on/
off events.
Delete Overlaps (mono)
This function allows you to make sure that no two notes of
the same pitch overlap (i.e. that one starts before the other
ends). Overlapping notes of the same pitch can confuse
some MIDI instruments (a new Note On is transmitted be-
fore the Note Off is transmitted). This command can then
be used to automatically rectify the problem.
Delete Overlaps (poly)
This function shortens notes when required, so that no
note begins before another ends. This happens regard-
less of which pitch the notes have.
Velocity…
Opens a dialog that allows you to manipulate the velocity
of notes in various ways.
Fixed Velocity
This function sets the velocity of all selected notes to the
Insert Velocity value on the toolbar in the MIDI Editors.
Thin Out Data
This thins out your MIDI data. Use this to ease the load on
MIDI devices if you have recorded very dense controller
curves etc.
Extract MIDI Automation
This option allows you to automatically convert continuous
controller data of a MIDI part into MIDI track automation
data.
Reverse
This inverts the order of the selected events (or of all
events in the selected parts), causing the MIDI music to
play backwards. Note though, that the effect is different
from reversing an audio recording. With MIDI, the individ-
ual notes will still play as usual in the MIDI instrument – it’s
only the order of playback that is changed.
