The MIDI editors
Editing on the info line
The info line shows the values and properties of the se-
lected events. If a single event is selected, its values are
displayed on the info line. If several events are selected,
the info line shows the values of the first of these events
(in color).
You can edit the values on the info line using regular value
editing. This allows you to move, resize, transpose or
change velocity of events in a very precise manner. It is
also possible to click in the Pitch or Velocity field in the
info line and play a note on your MIDI keyboard – the pitch
or velocity will be adjusted accordingly.
• If you have several events selected and change a value,
all selected events will be changed by the set amount.
• If you have several events selected and change a value
holding down [Ctrl]/[Command], the change will be abso
-
lute. In other words, the value setting will be the same for
all selected events.
How the Key Editor handles drum maps
When a drum map is assigned to a MIDI or instrument
track (see “Working with drum maps” on page 276), the
Key Editor will display the drum sound names as defined
by the drum map.
In Cubase, the name of the drum sound is displayed in the
following locations:
This allows you to use the Key Editor for drum editing, e. g.
when editing drum note lengths (which may be necessary
for some external instruments) or when editing several
parts, to identify drum events.
Editing notes via MIDI
You can change the properties of notes via MIDI. For ex-
ample, this can be a fast way to get the right velocity value,
since you will hear the result even as you edit:
1. Select the note you want to edit.
2. Click the MIDI Input button on the toolbar to enable
editing via MIDI.
