3. Use the note buttons on the toolbar to decide which properties are changed
by the MIDI input.
You can enable editing of pitch, note-on and/or note-off velocity. For example, with
the following setting, the edited notes get the pitch and velocity values of the notes
input via MIDI, but the note-off velocities remain as they are.
4. Play a note on your MIDI instrument.
RESULT
The selected note gets the pitch, velocity and/or
note-off velocity of the played note.
The next note in the edited part is automatically selected, to allow quick editing of a
series of notes.

FTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
To try another setting, select the note again and play a note on your MIDI instrument.
Step Input
Step input, or step recording, allows you to enter note events or chords one at a
time without worrying about the exact timing. This is useful, for example, when you
know the part that you want to record but are not able to play it exactly as you want
it.
PROCEDURE
1. On the toolbar, activate the Step Input button.
2. Use the note buttons to the right to determine which properties are included
w
hen you insert the note events.
For example, you can include the velocity and/or note-off velocity of the played notes.
You can also deactivate the pitch property, in which case all notes get a pitch C3, no
matter what you play.
3. Click anywhere in the note display to set the start position of the first note
event or chord.
The step input position is shown as a blue line in the note display.
4. Specify the note event spacing and length with the Quantize and Length
Quantize pop-up menus.
The note events that you insert are positioned according to the Quantize value and
have the length of the Length Quantize value.
NOTE
If Length Quantize is set to Quantize Link, the note length is also determined by the
Quantize value.
