MIDI Editors
Key Editor Operations
● You can also set the curve period freely by holding down Shift when you insert events in
Sine, Triangle, or Square mode. Activate Snap, Shift-click and drag to set the length of
one period. The period length will be a multiple of the quantize value.
Paint Mode
In Paint mode, you can draw in multiple notes.
The quantize value determines the density of created controller curves. For very smooth curves,
use a small quantize value or deactivate Snap. However, this creates a large number of MIDI
events, which can cause MIDI playback to stutter in some situations. A medium-low density is
often sufficient.
Editing Events using the Draw Tool
You can draw and edit events in the controller display with the Draw tool. The Draw tool has the
same functionality as the Line tool in Paint mode.
●
To change the velocity of a single note, click on its velocity bar and drag the bar up or
down.
NOTE
When you move the pointer inside a controller lane, the event type value changes
corresponding to the pointer movement. The event type value is displayed below the event
type name, left of the controller display.
Using Continuous Controllers
When a continuous controller is selected for a controller lane, additional data is displayed on the
controller lane. This is due to the fact that MIDI controller data can be recorded or entered either
for an automation track or for a MIDI part.
If automation data already exists for a controller, this is indicated by an asterisk that is displayed
next to the controller name on the Controller Selection and Functions pop-up menu.
If the automation data is controller data that you have entered in a MIDI editor, the data is
displayed on the controller lane. If the controller data was recorded on an automation track in
the Project window, no events are displayed on the controller lane.
On the controller lane, you can also see the controller curve that is applied before the part starts.
This tells you which controller value is being used at the starting point of the part so that you can
choose the start value accordingly.
Poly Pressure Events
Poly Pressure events are events that belong to a specific note number (key). That is, each Poly
Pressure event has the following editable values: the note number and the amount of pressure.
When Poly Pressure is selected on the Controller Selection and Functions pop-up menu, value
fields for the note number and for the amount are shown to the left of the controller display.
