The MIDI editors
• If you remove all lanes, the controller display will be
completely hidden.
To bring it back again, select “Create New Controller Lane” from the
context menu.
• Editing the events in the controller display is much like
editing automation data on an automation track in the Pro-
ject window (except for velocity values, see “Editing velo-
city values” on page 194).
Selecting the event type
Each controller lane shows one event type at a time. To
select which type should be displayed, use the event type
pop-up menu to the left of the lane.
• Selecting “Setup…” opens a dialog in which you can
specify which continuous controller event types should be
available on the pop-up menu.
• Each MIDI track has its own controller lane setup (num-
ber of lanes and selected event types).
When you create new tracks, they get the controller lane setup used last.
Controller lane presets
Once you have added the required number of controller
lanes and selected the event types you need, you can
store this combination as a controller lane preset. You
could for example have a preset with one velocity lane
only, another with a combination of velocity, pitchbend
and modulation, and so on. This can make working with
controllers much quicker.
• To add the current controller lane setup as a preset, pull
down the pop-up menu to the left of the horizontal scroll-
bar and select “Add”.
Enter a name for the preset in the dialog that appears and click OK.
• To apply a stored preset, select it from the pop-up menu.
This immediately brings up the controller lanes and event types in the
preset.
• To remove or rename presets, select “Organize…” from
the pop-up menu.
Editing velocity values
When “Velocity” is selected, the lane shows the velocity of
each note as a vertical bar.
Velocity values are edited with the Pencil or the Line tool.
The different tools and Line tool modes offer several pos-
sibilities, as listed below:
Ö The Arrow tool automatically switches to the Pencil tool
when you move the pointer into the controller display.
If you want to use the Arrow tool to select events in the controller display,
press [Alt]/[Option].
Ö If the Speaker icon (Acoustic Feedback) is activated
on the toolbar, the notes will be played back when you ad-
just the velocity, allowing you to audition your changes.
