The Matrix Editor
The Matrix Editor is used to graphically edit note events.
Its advantage over the other editors is its ability to provide
a more precise display of the length, position and velocity
of the notes. The Matrix Editor is designed for fine-tuning
the positions and lengths of notes.
Opening the Matrix Editor: To open a Matrix Editor
window showing the contents of the selected sequence, se-
lect Windows > Open Matrix Edit or a self-defined key
command (Open Matrix Editor).
You can also double-click a sequence while holding down
ctrl.
Display
Only notes are shown in the Matrix Editor. The beams
(and the way they can be edited) are very similar to the se-
quences in the Arrange window.
Pitch/Note Names: The pitch is indicated by the vertical
keyboard on the left side. To help you with positioning
there are horizontal lines running across the screen be-
tween notes B and C and notes E and F.
Remember that you can adapt the octave numbering to
Roland/Korg devices (page 285).
Position: You can read the position of a note in the bar
ruler. The background is marked by vertical lines to assist
with positioning:
– A straight line at every bar,
– A dashed line at every beat, and
