492 Chapter 20 Editing MIDI Events in the Transform Window
To open the Transform window, do one of the following:
m Choose Window > Transform from the main menu bar (or use the corresponding key
command, default: Command-4).
m If you want to transform events (that you have selected in one of the MIDI editors)
choose a preset from the Functions > Transform menu.
You can certainly choose the Window > Transform command while you are in a MIDI
editor, but you will need to manually select a preset.
Choosing and Using Transform Sets
At the top left of the Transform window, you will find a Presets menu. The first fourteen
items in the menu are write-protected presets. These presets provide templates for
common editing tasks, such as; creating crescendos or fixing note lengths.
You can temporarily change the used parameters of a preset, but all changes will be
discarded when you exit the preset.
Dependent on your needs, it may be worthwhile spending some time creating your
own transform sets. These can be freely configured and saved as part of a project
(Doing this in your template projects makes your transform sets available in all
projects). Your transform sets will appear at the bottom of the Presets menu (see
“Creating Your Own Transform Sets” on page 508).
To use a transform preset:
1 Select the MIDI regions or events that you want to transform.
2 Click the arrow button to the right of the Preset menu, and choose a transform set from
the pop-up menu.
Note: You can create a new transform set by choosing **Create Initialized User Set!** in
the Preset menu, but more on this later.
