The MIDI editors
Ö You can also adjust the velocity of a single note by se-
lecting it and changing its velocity value on the info line.
Adding and editing Poly Pressure events
Poly Pressure events are special, in that they “belong to” a
specific note number (key). That is, each Poly Pressure
event has two editable values: the note number and the
amount of pressure. Therefore, when Poly Pressure is se
-
lected on the “Controller Selection and Functions” pop-up
menu, there are two value fields to the left of the controller
display, one for the note number and one for the amount.
To add a new Poly Pressure event, proceed as follows:
1. Select Poly Pressure on the “Controller Selection and
Functions” pop-up menu.
2. Set the note number by clicking on the keyboard
display.
The selected note number is displayed in the upper value field to the left
of the controller display. Note that this only works for the topmost lane. If
you have selected “Poly Pressure” for several controller lanes, you have
to type in the desired note number directly in the lower value field to the
left of each lane.
3. Use the Pencil tool to add a new event, just as when
adding regular controller events.
To view and edit existing Poly Pressure events, proceed
as follows:
1. Select Poly Pressure on the “Controller Selection and
Functions” pop-up menu.
2. Click on the arrow button next to the note number field
to the left of the controller lane.
A pop-up menu appears, listing all note numbers for which there already
are Poly Pressure events.
3. Select a note number from the pop-up menu.
The Poly Pressure events for the selected note number are shown in the
controller lane.
4. Use the Pencil tool to edit the events as usual.
Press [Alt]/[Option] to edit existing events without adding any new ones.
Working with selection ranges
The controller lane editor allows you to perform additional
scaling operations for selection ranges on existing con-
troller curves.
• To open the controller lane editor, use the Arrow tool to
create a selection rectangle on the controller lane, encom
-
passing the desired controller events.
For Velocity lanes, press [Alt]/[Option] to get the Arrow tool.
Ö For Velocity lanes, the editor also opens if you select
multiple MIDI notes in the note display.
In the controller lane editor, controls (so called “smart
spots”) appear on the borders of the editor. These smart
spots allow you to activate a specific editing mode:

The controller lane editor is not available for Articula-
tion or Dynamics lanes.

Description
Move
Vertically
Click in an empty
area on the upper
border of the editor.
This mode allows you to move the
entire curve up or down, which is
useful to boost or attenuate an oth

erwise perfect curve.
Scale
Vertically
Click the smart spot
in the middle of the
upper border of the
editor.
Use this mode to relatively scale the
curve, i.
e. to raise or lower the values
in percent (not by absolute
amounts).
Tilt the left/
right part of
the curve
Click the smart spot
in the upper left/
right corner of the
editor.
These modes allow you to tilt the left
or the right part of the curve, respec
-
tively. This is useful if the curve form
is exactly the way you want it, but the
start or end needs to be boosted or
attenuated a bit.
Compress
the left/right
part of the
curve
[Alt]/[Option]-click
the smart spot in
the upper left/right
corner of the editor.
