Chapter 18 Editing MIDI Events in the Event List 471
Viewing and Changing Note Release Velocity
You can edit the release velocity of a note event when the Additional Info button is
active.
To view release velocity data:
m Turn on the Additional Info button (only available in filter mode).
Control Change Events
These event types are used to transfer MIDI controller information (modulation, sustain,
volume, and pan, as examples) to software instruments or external MIDI keyboards and
modules.
 Num(ber): The number of the controller. Each MIDI controller (such as the
modulation wheel or sustain pedal) is assigned a specific Continuous Controller (CC)
number (CC#1 or CC#64 respectively). This can vary from device to device. Several
controllers (apart from the two above) are defined in the same way by most
manufacturers; these standardized controllers include volume (CC#7) and pan
(CC#10).
 Length/Info: Shows the name of standardized controllers defined in the MIDI
Specification.
 Val(ue): Value of the controller. Continuous controllers have a range of 0 to 127.
Switch controllers (CC#64—CC#90) transfer two states: off (val = 0) and on (any value
between 1 and 127).
Pitch Bend Events
Pitch bend events are used to continuously vary the pitch. They are usually generated
by a centered pitch bend wheel or joystick on your keyboard.
 Num(ber): Fine pitch bend division (LSB: Least Significant Byte). Many keyboards
transmit a value of 0. If the pitch bend wheel has an 8-bit resolution, you will see
values of 0 or 64 in this column.
 Val(ue): The effective pitch value (MSB: Most Significant Byte), ranging from 0 to 127.
A value of 64 corresponds to the half-way setting of the wheel.
 Length/Info: The 14-bit value is displayed in this column as a decimal figure ranging
from –8192 to 8191 (if your keyboard transmits 14-bit pitch bend data). The value in
this column may be edited in the usual ways.
