– Using the Zoom Tool, select a large, vertical view
(important!)
– Select View > HyperDraw > Volume.
Click in the left half of the blue field in the lower range of
a sequence. At that location, a yellow, horizontal line will
start. It represents a volume command (Controller 7).
Click to the right at another height. Now you have created
a series of volume commands, which are spaced between
the two volume commands you have entered. You can
grab the points and move them anyway you want: chang-
ing the time or the value. To delete a point, grab it and
drag it beyond the right border of the sequence, i. e., out-
side the region. You can view your data in the Event Edi-
tor. Or you may open the Track mixer and watch how the
mixer’s fader will move during play-back like it is being
moved by an invisible hand (in the main menu select:
Window > Open Mixer). Using View > Hyper Draw > Pan
you can enter Pan events in the same way. The applicable
controller number (7 for Volume) is very small and shown
at the left side.
When working with HyperDraw, you will frequently need
an enlarged display of a sequence. For this purpose, the
magnifying glass function is readily available: Press and
hold the alt key and draw a frame around the respective se-
quence (group). Make sure to always start the frame in the
background of the Arrange window. The selected section
will be enlarged immediately. Now you can continue your
HyperDraw edits comfortably. To restore the original size,
click alt in the background.
Please note that in MIDI is a serial protocol meaning that
all events are sent to each port sequentially, which may
negatively affect the timing. If you are working with only a
few MIDI ports, where each of the ports includes many
channels, complex mixes, with a lot of controller data, may
cause timing problems.
