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 System Exclusive messages” on page 210).
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
Colors pop-up menu on the toolbar.
This affects how all MIDI events are shown in the List, Key and Drum Ed-
itors – see “Coloring notes and events” on page 188.
• 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
Clicking the “Show Filter View” button on the toolbar
opens an additional filter bar that allows you to hide spe-
cific event types from view. For example, it may be hard to
find note events if the part contains a lot of controllers. By
hiding these, the list becomes more manageable.
• To hide an event type, activate its checkbox on the filter
view.
• To see one event type only (hide all other event types),
press [Ctrl]/[Command] and click its checkbox. If you
[Ctrl]/[Command]-click again, all checkboxes are cleared
(all events will be visible).
Ö The event types remain hidden even if you close the fil-
ter view.
To make sure you see all events, open the filter view and check that all
checkboxes are deactivated.
Ö The filter view does not remove, mute or change the
events in any way.
