MIDI record modes
There are several methods of recording MIDI, and you can set the MIDI record mode
in the transport control.
• Normal: This recording mode corresponds to that of audio recording, i.e. a new
MIDI object is created over the existing object for each recording process. The
old object remains intact. This way you can record multiple takes of a passage
and then compare them in the Take Manager later on.
• Overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object, and available and
newly recorded MIDI data is mixed together.
• Multi-overdub: The data is recorded into an already existing object, available, and
newly recorded MIDI data are mixed together. However, existing objects remain
the same.
• Replace: The data is recorded to an existing object and any MIDI data is
overwritten.
After you have selected MIDI record mode, you can prepare the corresponding track
by clicking on the "R" button for recording. Now start recording by clicking on the
"Record" button in the transport control.
Edit MIDI
MIDI Editor
Use the MIDI Editor to edit MIDI files. You can open it by double-clicking on a MIDI
file (or via the "Object" menu > "MIDI Editor").
You can also use the MIDI Editor to program melodies. To do so, create an empty
new MIDI file (Object menu > New MIDI file) and then open the MIDI Editor to input
notes.
The MIDI editor displays the MIDI data of the selected MIDI object. You can click the
MIDI objects in the arranger one after the other and get direct access to the
corresponding MIDI events.
MIDI files can be displayed and edited in the MIDI Editor in five main areas.
List Editor (Event List)
Matrix Editor (Piano Roll)
