Editing events: Piano roll
Editing tools
There are several editing possibilities for notes within the piano roll, i.e. the so-called "Mouse" modes.
The same functions for editing notes (except delete) apply in all modes, so that these modes only differ by
their reaction to clicking in empty spaces.
Selection (1)
Lasso: You can draw a selection frame by holding down the mouse button.
A click in an empty space removes a selection.
Draw pencil (2)
Left clicking draws a note. The beginning and the length are determined according to the current
quantization settings (Toolbar
editor).
Drum pencil (3)
A sequence of notes is drawn. The length of the notes and the note intervals are determined by the
current quantization settings.
When holding Alt: The pitch of the first note is also maintained for all notes drawn subsequently. Moving
the mouse backwards (to the left) while depressing the mouse button removes drawn notes.
Pattern pencil (4)
Draws a freely definable note pattern (Ctrl + P).
When holding Alt: The pitch of the first note is also maintained for all notes drawn subsequently. Moving
the mouse backward (to the left) deletes just added notes again.
Velocity change (5)
If you hold the mouse key and drag the mouse vertically, the velocity values of the selected events are
increased or decreased relatively to each other: The velocity values are changed absolutely, i.e. all
changed events have the same velocity values after editing. In the graphic velocity display mode you can
change several velocity values at once by clicking + dragging the mouse over the notes.
Delete (6)
Clicking on a selected note deletes all selected notes. Dragging the mouse deletes all notes underneath
the eraser.
Magnifying glass (7)
Left mouse button: Zoom in
Right mouse button: Zoom out
Left mouse button + drag: The sketched area is always zoomed. The zoom mode can be temporarily
accessed by holding "Z". After releasing the key the mouse mode is active again.
