given the name and track position of the first of the objects
on the time axis (more on this on page 129).
Solo Tool: Grabbing with the solo tool allows you to listen
to only selected objects during playback. Moving the
mouse vertically also outputs any events the cursor
touches, even when the sequencer is stopped (please refer
also to section Soloing sequences from page 130 onwards).
Mute Tool: Clicking on an object with the mute tool stops
it from playing and places a dot in front of its name, to in-
dicate that it is muted. You can unmute it by clicking it
again with the tool. If multiple objects are selected, the set-
ting of the object you’ve clicked on applies to all selected
objects (see also section Muting sequences from page 130
onwards).
Magnifying Glass: The magnifying glass allows you to
zoom in on a “rubber-banded” section, right up to full
window size. You revert to normal size by clicking on the
background with the tool(for more on this, see the section
Zooming Selectively from page 88 onwards). You can also
access this function via other tools by holding down alt.
Finger: The finger is used in the Matrix Editor to alter note
lengths.
Crosshair: The Crosshair is used in the Drum Editor to in-
put a linear series of parameter values.
Layout tool: The layout tool is used for graphically moving
objects in the Score Editor to optimize the display (e.g.
bars to lines: “Local Formatting”) without altering the tim-
ing of actual MIDI events.
Size Tool: The size tool is used to adjust the size of graphic
elements in the score.
Velocity Tool: In the note (i.e. Matrix and Score) editors),
you can use the V tool to change the velocity of notes.
Window Functions
The basic functions of the MAGIX midi studio generation
6 windows are the same as those in other Windows appli-
cation programs. However, the display options in MAGIX
midi studio generation 6’s windows are far more exten-
sive.
In MAGIX midi studio generation 6, you can open differ-
ent combinations of windows (even several of the same
type) and adjust each one individually. All open windows
in a song are constantly updated. This means that the win-
dows update to follow the song position, and any alter-
ations that you make in one window immediately update
the display of all the other windows you are working with.
It is also easy to save different window arrangements
