Chapter 23: MIDI Editing 363
Typing in Note Attributes
When an individual note is selected with the
Grabber or Pencil, its attributes are displayed in
the Event Edit area.
Pitch is listed by note name and octave number.
Attack and release velocities are listed with their
MIDI values (0–127). Times for Start, End, and
Length are displayed in the Main Time Scale.
To change an attribute for a MIDI note:
1 In the MIDI track’s playlist area, select the
note with the Grabber or the Pencil.
2 Click in the Attributes text box and do one of
the following:
• Enter the new value on the numeric key-
pad.
• Press the Up or Down Arrow to scroll to the
new value.
• In Pro Tools 6.x, drag up or down to scroll
to the new value. In Pro Tools 5.x, press
Control (Windows) or Command (Macin-
tosh), then drag up or down to scroll to the
new value.
• Play the new note value on your MIDI con-
troller keyboard.
Press the slash key (/) to move between the fields
in the Event Edit area.
Multiple Notes and Event Edit Area
When multiple notes are selected, you can enter
values in the Event Edit area fields to affect all
selected notes. A triangle (delta symbol) to the
left of the displayed note indicates that multiple
notes are selected.
A new value in the Start field moves the first
note in the selection to that location, with all
other notes moving with it.
Values entered in the pitch and velocity fields
add to or subtract from the values for all selected
notes. For example, to transpose all selected
notes down an octave, enter a value of –12 for
pitch.
Deleting MIDI Notes
In addition to deleting selected notes with the
Clear command in the Edit menu, individual
notes can also be deleted with the Pencil tool.
To delete a group of MIDI notes with the Clear
command:
1 Using the Grabber or Selector tool, select the
notes to be deleted. For details, see “Selecting
MIDI Notes” on page 359.
