139 Editing MIDI Notes and Velocities
The Fold Button Extracts Key Tracks Containing Notes.
When editing MIDI, you might find that you want to change which part of the clip you are listen-
ing to, or loop the clip in order to listen to it repeatedly. You can use the loop/region markers
(page 104) for this.
Use the Loop/Region Markers to Select a Specific Region of the Clip to Play.
Tip: Selecting the loop brace in a MIDI clip and pressing [CTRL][D](PC) / [CMD][D](Mac) dou-
bles the length of the loop brace and zooms as necessary to show the entire loop. Any notes to
the right of the loop will be moved, so that they maintain their position relative to the end of the
loop.
10.4.3 Grid Snapping
Most functions in the MIDI Editor are subject to grid snapping (page 82). But when adjusting
events with the mouse, the grid is “magnetic”; event positions can be moved freely up to the pre-
vious or next grid line and then will snap if you continue to drag. You can hold down the [ALT]
(PC) / [CMD](Mac) modifier while performing an action to bypass grid snapping.
Note movements will also snap to an “offset,” which is based on the original placement of the
note relative to the grid. This is useful for preserving a groove or loose playing style that you do
not necessarily want to “set straight.”
