Chapter 16 Editing MIDI Events in the Piano Roll Editor 417
Note: When View > Region Colors is activated, the notes will be displayed in the color
of the MIDI regions that contain them. This makes notes easier to identify when
viewing the notes of multiple regions.
Displaying and Editing Multiple MIDI Regions
The Piano Roll Editor can simultaneously display the contents of all MIDI regions in a
folder, all regions in a project, or several selected MIDI regions.
You can freely select note events that belong to different MIDI regions, and process,
move, or resize them as required. A help tag indicates the number of selected events
and parent MIDI regions. As an example: 8/2 means that eight notes are selected from
two MIDI regions.
To show the note events of all MIDI regions in a project:
m Ensure that View > Show Selected Regions Only is switched off, then double-click on
the background of the Piano Roll Editor.
The start point of each MIDI region is indicated by a vertical line of the same color as
the MIDI region itself.
Double-click on a note event to revert to a display of the contents of a single parent
MIDI region (the region that contains the note).
To limit the display to note events of selected MIDI regions:
m Switch View > Show Selected Regions Only on.
This restricts the Piano Roll display to the note events of MIDI regions selected in the
Arrange area. Logically, this hides the events of non-selected regions, making multi-
region editing simpler.
