Tutorial 3: Recording and Editing MIDI
5. Now erase all the other hi-hat notes from bar 2
through 8 using any method you like.
Copying MIDI notes
Let’s copy the MIDI notes in bar 1 to bars 2 through 8.
1. Lasso the hi-hat notes in bar 1. Hold down [Alt]/[Option]
and drag the notes in bar 1 to bar 2. This copies them.
2. Continue copying until bar 9.
Creating or drawing in MIDI notes
Now we need to draw in a cymbal crash in bar 25.
1. Scroll over to bar 25 and click on the piano roll on the
left hand side of the Key Editor. Click on the notes until you
hear a crash cymbal that you like. There is a good one at
C#2.
2. Select the Pencil tool of the Key Editor and draw in the
crash cymbal note at bar 25 by clicking and dragging for a
full bar.
The Controller lane
The “Controller Lane” allows us to add in or modify MIDI
data such as velocity and controller information. The most
common use for this is to edit velocity, pitch bend and
controller numbers for things like filter etc.
If you find that the MIDI velocity is too loud or quiet on cer-
tain notes, you can view and edit them at the bottom of the
Key Editor.
Click and drag with the Pencil tool
