Adding and editing controllers in the Piano Roll
Editing MIDI events and continuous controllers (CC)
Select controllers within note duration
When editing MIDI data it is often necessary to align the timing of Controller events with that of Note
events. For example, Sustain Pedal (CC64) events need to move along with the notes they are
supposed to sustain, and Pitch Wheel events need to move along with the notes whose pitch they
are supposed to modify.
When the Select Controllers Along with Notes option is enabled, selecting a Note event or a
range of Note events will also automatically select any Controller events that exist within the time
range of the Note event(s).
Note events can be selected by clicking the notes or by lasso-selecting the notes. For more
information, see “Selecting notes” on page 663.
The following rules apply when multiple Note / Controller event types are selected:
• Dragging a Note event vertically will not affect the selected Controller event(s).
• Dragging a Note event in time (horizontally) will also drag the Controller event(s) along with it in
time.
• Dragging Controller events vertically will not affect the selected Note event(s).
• Dragging Controller events in time will also drag Note events along with them in time.
• If multiple Controller types are selected, only the type you click on can be dragged vertically. The
rest will only move in time (horizontally).
To enable/disable ‘Select Controllers within Note Duration’
Click the Piano Roll view Controllers menu and choose Select Controllers Along With Notes.
See:
“Working with multiple tracks in the Piano Roll view” on page 659
Note: The state of the Select Controllers Along With Notes option is global and applies to
both the Piano Roll view and inline Piano Roll.
