Menu Reference
Functions
Logical Presets
This submenu contains various presets for performing ad-
vanced “search and replace” operations on MIDI data.
Drum Map Setup…
This is where you load, create, modify, and save drum
maps. The list to the left shows the currently loaded drum
maps; selecting a drum map in the list displays its sounds
and settings to the right.
Insert Velocities…
All MIDI editors feature an Insert Velocity pop-up menu
where one of five different velocity values can be selected
when inserting notes. This menu item allows you to spec
-
ify which five velocity values are available on the Insert Ve-
locity pop-up menu.
Reset
This function sends out note-off messages and resets
controllers on all MIDI channels. You can use this if you
experience hanging notes or stuck controllers, etc.
Option Description
Legato Extends each selected note so that it reaches the next
note. You can specify the desired gap or overlap with
the “Legato Overlap” setting in the Preferences dialog
(Editing–MIDI page).
Fixed Lengths Resizes all selected notes to the length set with the
Length Quantize pop-up menu on the MIDI editor toolbar.
Pedals to
Note Length
This function scans for sustain pedal on/off events,
lengthens the affected notes to match the sustain pedal
off position, and then removes the Sustain Controller
on/off events.
Delete Overlaps
(mono)
This function allows you to make sure that two notes of
the same pitch do not overlap (i. e. that one starts be-
fore the other ends). Overlapping notes of the same
pitch can confuse some MIDI instruments (a new Note
On is transmitted before the Note Off is transmitted).
This command can then be used to automatically rectify
the problem.
Delete Overlaps
(poly)
This function shortens notes when required, so that no
note begins before another ends. This happens regard-
less of which pitch the notes have.
Velocity… Opens a dialog that allows you to manipulate the veloc-
ity of notes in various ways.
Fixed Velocity This function sets the velocity of all selected notes to
the Insert Velocity value on the toolbar in the MIDI
Editors.
Delete Doubles Removes double notes, i. e. notes of the same pitch on
the exact same position. Double notes can occur when
recording in Cycle mode, after Quantizing, etc. This
function always affects whole MIDI parts.
Delete Notes… Allows you to delete very short or weak notes. This is
useful for automatically removing unwanted “ghost
notes” after recording. Selecting “Delete Notes…”
opens a dialog in which you set up the criteria for the
function.
Delete
Controllers
Removes all MIDI controller events from the selected
MIDI parts. This function always affects whole MIDI
parts.
Delete
Continuous
Controllers
Removes all continuous MIDI controller events from the
selected MIDI parts. On/Off events, such as sustain
pedal events, are not removed. This function always af-
fects whole MIDI parts.
Restrict
Polyphony…
Selecting this item opens a dialog in which you can
specify how many “voices” are to be used (for the se-
lected notes or parts). Restricting the polyphony this
way is useful when you have an instrument with limited
polyphony and want to make sure all notes will be
played. The effect is achieved by shortening notes as
required, so that they end before the next note starts.
Thin Out Data This thins out your MIDI data. Use this to ease the load
on MIDI devices if you have recorded very dense con-
troller curves, etc.
Extract MIDI
Automation
This option allows you to automatically convert continu-
ous controller data of a MIDI part into MIDI track auto-
mation data.
Reverse This inverts the order of the selected events (or of all
events in the selected parts), causing the MIDI music to
play backwards. Note though, that the effect is different
from reversing an audio recording. With MIDI, the indi-
vidual notes will still play as usual in the MIDI instrument
– only the order of playback is changed.
