Tools
The controller editor has its own tools for editing curves and values.
Controller selection: A click on the menu area of the
button opens a selection menu in which the MIDI
controller for editing can be selected.
Selection
: Combi tool also used for value changes as well as
freehand and line drawing.
Click in the upper range of a controller bar to modify the controller value immediately using the draw
function. Clicking in the lower two thirds of the bar selects the corresponding note which is then
highlighted in red in the editors.
Select multiple controller bar by clicking and dragging or single clicking a range in the controller editor;
individual values can be selected by clicking within the bar. Selected controller events will be highlighted
red.
Combi-tool editing options:
Click on the bar end + drag: The controller value can now be adjusted by dragging vertically.
If you hold the "Shift" key down while dragging, all of the selected events will be set to the same
value. If you also hold down "Ctrl", then the values of multiple selected controllers will be
changed relative to one another.
Alt + Drag: This activates freehand drawing; the mouse pointer becomes a pencil. By dragging
in the corresponding controller area, you can draw in any number of controller curves.
Shift + Drag: This activates line drawing and the mouse pointer becomes a cross hairs. By
dragging horizontally, you can draw in linear value curves (ramps).
Freehand drawing
: Draws new controller value curves or individual values by
single clicking without dragging.
By dragging backwards, you can correct your curve during drawing. Shift + Drag with the cross hairs to
draw a line.
Draw lines
: Uses the line function to insert a transition between two
different controller values.
Hint: If you edit velocity with the draw tools, no new notes are generated; only existing velocity values are
modified.
Quantize controller events
MIDI
controller events can be quantized and thinned out; select the "MIDI functions" menu and the
"Quantize/Thin out controller" command to do this. Quantization occurs according to the quantization
settings.
Multi-view
The four multi-buttons are used to display or hide the view of all possible controller curves. Clicking on
the menu area of the buttons opens a menu which allows you to choose a MIDI
controller for this controller slot.
Selecting and processing notes
: By clicking in the upper range of a controller column, the controller value can be changed immediately
by dragging the mouse. Clicking in the lower two thirds of the column selects the corresponding note
(displayed in the editor in red).
