Notation display, movement, zoom
The MIDI
editor features five main areas for editing:
Matrix editor (piano roll)
Drum editor (toggle between the drum editor and piano roll optional)
Controller editor (for example, velocity, MIDI volume…)
List editor (event list)
Score editor
Various tools are available, e.g. the pencil or eraser. Exact values for each MIDI event can also be set in
the edit fields via the piano roll.
Fundamentally, changes like moving or deleting notes always refer to all selected MIDI events (red) with
only a few exceptions. Changes to the selection in a range always apply to every other range as well. For
example, you can select a group of notes in the piano roll and then change the velocity of these note
groups which modifies all selected notes simultaneously.
Notation display in piano roll and controller editor (with
velocity curves)
Notes which are not selected within the editor are displayed in blue. The intensity of the color symbolizes
the velocity, and the velocity increases as the color gets darker/stronger.
Selected notes:
Multiple selected notes are displayed in red, and a more intense color symbolizes increased velocity.
Current event:
Appears in bright red with a red border. The properties of the currently selected events are displayed in
the edit fields above the piano roll. If an event is selected with the mouse, it turns into the current event.
Display of filtered events: You can filter specific events for the display to get a better overview of the
events of a MIDI
object.
Example:
The MIDI object as notes in the MIDI channels 1, 2, and 5. You can now make all notes in channels 2
and 5 accessible for the selection and editing tools via the selection of the MIDI channels in the channel
filter by selecting the two channels from the menu. All unselected filtered notes in channel 1 are displayed
in gray in the piano roll and the list editor.
Events in the filtered channels can be completely hidden using "Hide filtered MIDI data" option in the
menu.
The list editor provides additional display filters that only function within the list. The display filters are
initiated with the settings of the playback filters (mute settings), but the filters can be set independently of
one another.
Display of muted events:
MIDI object settings (in the MIDI object editor, "Ctrl + O") can be used to mute notes and filter other
MIDI events. This type of "muted" event is displayed lighter or paler in the piano roll and list editor.
Events in front of or behind the beginning/end of the object (recognizable by the blue lines in the editor or
when the display is active and transparent as grayed-out ranges) appear similarly pale as non-muted
events within the object borders.
Events above and below the current picture section:
Two small red displays above and below the vertical scroll bar to the right-hand side of the MIDI editor
screen show in red if there are notes outside the screen's display.
