Deglitch dialog
When recording MIDI guitar, even the best players occasionally play unintended notes. The Deglitch
feature allows you to filter out the softest, shortest, and highest notes in the file.
There are three filters in the Deglitch dialog:
Pitch
With the Pitch filter you can set the maximum pitch allowed in the track. If a MIDI event has a higher
pitch than the maximum you set, it is removed.
Velocity
With the Velocity filter you can set a minimum velocity allowed in the track. If a MIDI event has a
lower velocity than the one you set, it is removed.
Duration
With the Duration filter you can set a minimum note duration for the track in either ticks or
milliseconds. If a MIDI event has a shorter duration than the one you set, it is removed.
To use the Deglitch filter
1. Select a track or a section of track.
2. Select Process > Deglitch from the menu.
The Deglitch dialog box appears.
3. Check each of the filters you want to use.
4. Enter the parameters (maximum or minimum values) you want for each of the filters you are
using.
5. Click OK.
If you are not happy with the result, select Edit > Undo to restore the original MIDI track.
Working with triplets
The Staff view places certain limitations on the use of triplets. The limitations are:
• Triplets must occur in full sets of three.
• All three steps in a triplet must be notes (no rests) of the same basic duration.
• There can be no ties in or out of, or within the triplet.
In most cases, the Staff view can recognize triplets in MIDI data. However, the slight timing
inaccuracies inherent in live performances can complicate the detection of triplets. If working from
performance data, you may find it useful to quantize the notes closer to exact triplet positions using
the Process > Quantize command. See “Quantizing” on page 750 for details.
