RESULT
The first chord event of the chord track is applied to the selected notes. Only the basic chord
type is applied. Tensions are not taken into account.
Drum Map Handling
When a drum map is assigned to a MIDI or instrument track, the Key Editor displays the
drum sound names as defined by the drum map. This allows you to use the Key Editor for
drum editing, for example, when editing drum note lengths or when editing several parts to
identify drum events.
The name of the drum sound is displayed in the following locations:
•
On the info line in the Pitch field.
•
On the status line in the Mouse Note Position field.
•
In the note event if the zoom factor is high enough.
•
When dragging a note event.
Editing Note Events via MIDI Input
You can directly hear your editing results. Editing the properties of note events via MIDI can
be a quick way to, for example, set the velocity value of a note event.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Key Editor, select the note event that you want to edit.
2. Click MIDI Input on the toolbar.
Editing via MIDI is enabled.
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.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
To try another setting, select the note again and play a note on your MIDI instrument.
