MIDI Editor Window Toolbar
The MIDI Editor window toolbar is similar to the
Edit window toolbar, but with a few exceptions.
Each MIDI Editor window and the Edit window
can be configured independently of one another.
For example, you can have Notation view enabled
in one MIDI Editor window, but not another; or
you can have a MIDI Editor window set to Grid
mode, but the Edit window set to Slip mode. You
can also customize the toolbar in MIDI Editor win-
dows.
Record-Enable, Solo, and Mute
Buttons
In a MIDI editor window, the Record-enable, Solo,
and Mute buttons affect tracks in all windows.
They let you either audition the tracks shown in the
current MIDI Editor window without the rest of
the mix, or let you hear just the mix without the
tracks shown in the MIDI Editor window. Addi-
tionally, these buttons provide a quick visual indi-
cation as to whether or not any MIDI or Instrument
tracks are record-enabled, soloed, or muted.
Record-Enable
The Record-enable button lets you record-enable
(or record-disable) all the tracks currently dis-
played in the MIDI Editor window.
Solo
The Solo button lets you solo all the tracks cur-
rently displayed in the MIDI Editor window.
Mute
The Mute button lets you mute all the tracks cur-
rently displayed in the MIDI Editor window.
Mixed Record-Enable, Mute, and Solo
States
The Record-enable, Solo, and Mute buttons in
MIDI Editor windows are global controls in that
they affect all tracks shown in a MIDI Editor win-
dow. If you independently record-enable, solo, or
mute tracks in the Edit window that are also shown
in a MIDI Editor window, the appearance of the
Record-enable, Solo, and Mute buttons update to
indicate mixed states. Mixed states occur when
one or more tracks shown in the MIDI Editor win-
dow, but not all, are record-enable, soloed, or
muted respectively.
Notation View
The Notation view button lets you view MIDI
notes in the MIDI Editor window as music nota-
tion. In Notation view, MIDI and Instrument tracks
are not superimposed, but are shown as staves just
like in the Score Editor window.
Notation view enabled in a MIDI Editor window
You can access the Notation Display Track
Settings in a MIDI Editor window when in
Notation view. Select the Notation Display
Track Settings option from the Tracks List
menu or Right-click in the Notes pane and se-
lect the Notation Display Track Settings op-
tion from the Right-click menu. For more in-
formation, see “Notation Display Track
Settings” on page 816.
