Editing MIDI Events and Continuous Controllers (CC)

The Piano Roll View

You can view as many tracks as you want in the Piano Roll view. When you display several tracks at

the same time in the Piano Roll view, you control which track(s) you can see and/or edit by using the

buttons in the Track List pane. You can show or hide the Track List pane by clicking the Show/Hide

Track Pane button in the Piano Roll view toolbar.

If you want to edit the data in a track, you must make the track you want to edit the current track. The

name of the current track appears highlighted in the Track List pane. To display the Track List pane

in the Piano Roll view, click the Show/Hide Track List Pane button . The following shows three

tracks in the Track List pane:

A. Track’s data shown in Notes pane B. Track’s data hidden in Notes pane C. Mute D. Track enabled for track

editing E. Solo F. Arm G. Track disabled for track editing H. Output I. Current track

To make a track the current track in the Track List pane, click on the track. When a thin dotted line

surrounds the track, it is the current track.

The following is a list of ways to optimize the multiple track functionality in the Piano Roll view.

Selecting Tracks to View

Use the Pick Tracks combo button to assign tracks to the Track List pane. Click on the left side

of the Pick Tracks combo button to open the Pick Tracks dialog box. Click on a track name to

select it. Hold down the CTRL key and click more track names to select additional tracks. Click on

the right side of the Pick Tracks combo button to show the Show Previous/Next Tracks pop-up

menu. Selecting Show Previous Track(s) moves the track or range of tracks down by one track

number. Selecting Show Next Track(s) moves the track or range of tracks up by one track number.

For example, if you have tracks 2, 3 and 7 displayed in the Track List pane and you select Show

Previous Track(s), the Track List pane displays tracks 1, 2, and 6.

Display

If the notes of two tracks overlap, the notes of the topmost track in the Track List pane appear over

the notes of the other track. You can move a track up or down by in the Track List pane by clicking

and holding on the track and moving the track to the desired position.

Tip:

Clicking a note will make the note’s parent track the current track.
