The MIDI editors
Masking
The Mask function is similar to the filter view but allows
you to hide events based on other criteria as well. Pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Select an event (or several events) of the type you want
to view.
2. Pull down the Mask pop-up menu on the toolbar and
select one of the options.
The results are as follows:
In addition to the above options, the menu also gives you
access to the Logical presets.
When you apply any of the Logical presets, only the
events that meet the criteria specified will be visible.
• To deactivate the Mask function, select “Nothing” from
the Mask pop-up menu.
The most typical usage of the Mask function is to view a
certain type of controller only (e.g. Modulation, Breath
Control, etc.). Since these are all the same event types
(controller), this would not be possible using the filter
view. With the “Event Types and Data 1” option on the
Mask pop-up menu, it is!
Editing in the value display
The value display to the right of the event display is a tool
for quick viewing and editing of multiple values, e.g. veloci-
ties or controller amounts. The values are shown as hori-
zontal bars, with the bar length corresponding to the value.
A velocity ramp in the value display
You edit the values by clicking and dragging. Note that the
pointer automatically takes on the shape of the Pencil tool
when you move it into the value display – you do not have
to select the Pencil tool for this.
Exactly which value is shown for an event depends on the
event type. The following table shows what is displayed
and edited in the Data columns and the value display:
• For note events there will also be a value in the Data 3
column, which is used for note-off velocity.
Option Description
Event Types Only events with the type of the selected event will be
shown. This does the same as the filter view but is
quicker if you only want to view a single event type.
Event Types
and Data 1
Only events of the same type and with the same “Data 1”
value will be shown. For example, if a note event is se-
lected, only notes with the same pitch will be shown. If a
controller event is selected, only controllers of the same
type will be shown.
Event
Channels
Only events with the same MIDI channel value as the se-
lected event will be shown.
