The MIDI editors
Velocity values are shown as vertical bars in the controller
display, with higher bars corresponding to higher velocity
values.
Each velocity bar corresponds to a note in the note display.
Events other than velocity values are shown as blocks, the
heights of which correspond to the values of the events.
The beginning of an event is marked by a curve point. To
select an event, click on the curve point, so that it turns red.
Ö Unlike notes, events in the controller display have no
length. The value of an event in the display is “valid” until
the start of the next event.
For a description of editing in the controller display, see
“Editing in the controller display” on page 193.
Key Editor operations
Zooming
Zooming in the Key Editor is done according to the stan-
dard zoom procedures, using the zoom sliders, the Zoom
tool or the Zoom submenu on the Edit menu.
• When you drag a rectangle with the Zoom tool, the result
depends on the option “Zoom Tool Standard Mode: Hori-
zontal Zooming Only” in the Preferences (Editing–Tools
page).
If this is activated, the window will only be zoomed horizontally; if not, the
window will be zoomed both horizontally and vertically.
Using the Trim tool
The Trim tool allows you to change the length of note
events by cutting off the end or the beginning of notes. It
is available in the Key Editor and in the List Editor.
Using the Trim tool means moving the note-on or the note-
off event for one or several notes to a position defined with
the mouse. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the Trim tool in the toolbar.
The mouse pointer changes to a knife symbol.
2. Locate the notes that you wish to edit.
3. To edit a single note, click on it with the Trim tool. The
range between the mouse pointer and the end of the note
will be removed.
You can use the mouse position display in the toolbar to find the exact
position for the trim operation.
4. To edit several notes, click and drag with the mouse
across the notes.
A line is displayed. The notes will be trimmed along this line.
Trimming the end of three note events.
• By default, the Trim tool will cut off the end of notes. To
trim the beginning of the note(s), press [Alt]/[Option] while
dragging.
If you delete the second event…
…the first event will be “valid”
until the start of the third event.
