Adding and editing controllers in the Piano Roll
Controller events (MIDI continuous controllers, pitch wheel, NRPN’s, and RPN’s) appear in either
the Notes Pane or the Controller pane, depending on whether you choose to display the Controller
pane or not. Each controller event has an edit handle at the top, which you can drag to edit, and a
tail under the edit handle, which graphically demonstrates the controller event’s current value. The
tail changes colors to show whether you can edit a particular type of controller, and also turns dark
to show that the controller event is selected. Controller events appear in different colors so you can
differentiate them when you’re displaying multiple controller events, possibly in multiple tracks.

To show which events belong to which track, and which ones are the “current” events (the ones you
can edit), and which events are selected, controller events use the following color patterns:
• Controller tail. Uses the same color as the edit handle when the controller can be edited (in
other words, when the controller is selected in the Piano Roll view Edit menu). You can
automatically enable a controller type for editing by clicking its edit handle with the Draw tool.
Note: Only the current track and current events appear in a solid color. All other tracks and
events appear in de-saturated colors.
