Searching for Events

Editing MIDI Events and Controllers

These capabilities can help you find problem spots or errors in a project or

make systematic changes to events that have particular attributes. All of

these capabilities rely on the use of an event filter, which lets you choose

the types of events you want to work with and the range of values in which

you are interested.

See:

Event Filters

When you select individual clips, or select portions of clips by dragging the

Time Ruler, you automatically select all the events that fall within the

designated time range. Sometimes you need finer control over which

events are selected. For example, you might want to:

• Select the notes that are played in a certain octave, so you can copy

them to another track

• Select and boost the velocity of notes that have a velocity below a

certain threshold

• Find the first patch change event on a particular track

• Select and change the duration of all notes that occur on the third beat

of any measure

The Event Filter dialog box looks like this:

Action... Command...

Search through a project to find the first event that

has specific attributes, and then search again to find

the next such event
