410 Chapter 15 Introduction to MIDI Editing
Opening the Editors
All editors can be opened from the Window menu. This launches the editor in a
separate window.
To open an editor from the Window menu:
m Choose the editor window name from the Window menu (or use the corresponding
key command).
In general, you’ll access the editors directly in the Arrange window, but it can be useful
to have multiple copies of the same editor open at the same time. As an example: Two
Event Lists—one set to display at the Arrange level (showing regions), and the other
displaying events within the regions. When you click on region names in the Arrange
level Event List, the contents of the selected region are updated and shown in the
other Event List window.
To access the Score, Piano Roll, and Hyper Editor in the Arrange window, either:
m Click the appropriate button at the bottom of the Arrange window editing area.
The contents (the events) of the selected MIDI region are shown in the selected editor
window.
m Double-click on a MIDI region (see below).
You can use the Toggle Score Editor, Toggle Piano Roll, and Toggle Hyper Editor key
commands. The repeated use of the key command will open or close (toggle) the
chosen editor at the bottom of the Arrange window.
∏ Tip: Hold Option while double-clicking a MIDI region, to open the chosen editor in a
separate window.
