Key Editor
The Key Editor is the default MIDI editor. It displays notes graphically in a piano roll-style
grid. The Key Editor allows for detailed editing of notes and non-note events, such as MIDI
controllers.
You can open the Key Editor in a separate window or in the lower zone of the Project window.
Opening the Key Editor in the lower zone of the Project window is useful if you want to
access the Key Editor functions from within a fixed zone of the Project window.
To open a MIDI part in the Key Editor, do one of the following:
• Double-click a MIDI part in the Project window.
• Select a MIDI part in the Project window and press Return or Ctrl/Cmd-E.
• Select a MIDI part in the Project window and select MIDI> Open Key Editor.
• In the Key Commands dialog in the Editors category, assign a key command for Open
Key Editor. Select a MIDI part in the Project window and use the key command.
NOTE
If you select MIDI> Set up Editor Preferences, the Preferences dialog opens on the Editors
page. Make your settings to specify, if you want the editors to open in a separate window or in
the lower zone of the Project window.
