MIDI: Recording and Playback

– The recorded sequence is still selected and, therefore,
shown in black. Press Backspace to delete everything
that is selected—in this case the sequence you just
recorded.
– Press strg-z (Undo) to undo the last action. In this case
you can undo the deletion.
Fine or Rough Copying and Shifting of
Sequences
Sequences are handled in the Arrange window the same
way as regions: If you want to use the format value as grid,
hold alt, if you want to use single ticks, hold alt-shift while
shifting. If you hold (additionally) strg while shifting, a
copy is created.
Sequence Play-Back Parameters
The play-back parameters of each sequence can be
changed. Play-back parameters include Transposition,
Quantization, and Velocity.
The play-back parameters do not affect the data in the se-
quences. They merely define how the sequences should be
played back. This means that you may make changes at
any time to these parameters, and at any time you may go
back to your original performance. If you do wish to actu-
ally change the underlying data, there is a function to do
so. This function is called Normalize and is accessed
through Functions > Sequence Parameters > Normalize
Sequence Parameters. This will apply all the play-back pa-
rameter settings you have made to the data. The settings
in the parameter box will be reset to zero, since the actual
MIDI data now will reflect the settings you have chosen.
Normally you would only use this function when export-
ing your song as a Standard MIDI file. The only parameter
not affected by “Normalize“ is Quantization. If you wish to
permanently set the quantization, the use Functions > Se-
quence Parameters > Fix Quantize. Again, you normally
would only do this when exporting the song as a Standard
MIDI file. When working within MAGIX midi studio gen-
eration 6, it’s a real advantage to keep your options open,
by leaving these settings as play-back parameters. This
way, you are free to change your mind at any time.
As long as no object is selected—you can do this by click-
ing once on the background in the Arrange window—the
play-back parameters automatically apply to all of the ob-
jects currently being recorded. However, if objects are se-
lected, the play-back parameters will apply only to them. If
