enabled, a Controller 65 (Portamento) event is inserted at the start of the
clip. Portamento only applies if your sound source (soft synth or external
MIDI device) supports Portamento.
Portamento Time—This knob adjusts the rate at which Portamento slides
the pitch between two notes (the time it takes for the next note to reach its
pitch). The value range is 0-127 and the default value is 0 (slowest rate).
Insert Row—Click this button to insert a new row above the selected row.
This command is undoable.
Delete Row—Click this button to delete the selected row. This command is
undoable.
Show/Hide Controller Pane—This button opens and closes the
Controllers pane (see Controllers Pane).
Notes Pane
The Notes pane consists of the following controls:
Rows—Each row represents a specific pitch. Similar to the Drum Editor in
the Piano Roll view (in some ways, you can think of a row as a different way
of looking at the Drum Map Manager dialog), the controls for each row are
located at the left side of the row and has the following controls:
• Note Name—This control shows the name of the note to which the
row is mapped. Click the note name to audition the pitch. Double-
click to show the Drum Map properties for that note.
Note: If the row’s pitch has not been mapped in the drum map, double-
clicking the note name will open the Drum Map Manager (see The
Drum Map Manager), which allows you to create a new drum map.
When the Drum Map Manger is closed, the new drum map is
automatically assigned to the MIDI track.
• Note Number—Use this control to specify the row’s input note.
• Mute—This button mutes the row/note/pitch.
• Solo—This button solos the row/note/pitch.
