Tutorial 2: Editing
About the Sample Editor
The Sample Editor is used for detailed editing. It can be
used for the following:
• Quantization
•Time Warp
• Adding Silence
• Reversing
These features are described in the chapter “Advanced
features” on page 79.
1. To open the Sample Editor, select an audio event and
then select the Editor Page in the Multi Zone.
You can also double click the event in the Arrange Zone to display it in
the Sample Editor.
2. The selected audio event is displayed in the center of
the Editor Page. Here you can see a detailed waveform
rendering of the audio file.
The functions along the left side of the window such as Vol-
ume, Mute, Transpose, Transpose lock and Reverse are de-
scribed in the section “The Editor Page” on page 70.
Editing instrument parts
In this section, we are going to look at some of the editing
functions for instrument parts that are available in Sequel.
Key Editor
The Key Editor is where we can make changes to the in-
strument data on our instrument tracks.
Importing
You can import Instrument parts by simply dragging them
from the MediaBay Page or your desktop and dropping
them in the Arrange Zone.
Deleting notes
Select the “Synth” event and go to the Editor Page in the
Multi Zone to view the Key Editor. Here you can see the
synth notes lined up with a keyboard or piano roll on the
left. At the bottom the velocity of each of the notes is
shown and at the top we can see the time ruler.
Let’s delete all the notes in bar 1.
1. Click once and hold the mouse while dragging a selec-
tion rectangle over the first bar.
A common term for this is to “lasso” the notes.
2. Press [Delete] or [Backspace] on your computer key-
board to delete all the notes in the first bar.
