AutoRecord: Drag the AutoRecord points to
change the punch-in or punch-out time.
Continuous Data Grid: Displays continuous data
on a time vs. value grid. Pitch bend, key pressure,
controllers, and note velocities are displayed simul-
taneously on this grid. An event’s location is
measured by the Time Ruler at the top of the
window. Value is determined by the Continuous
Data Ruler on the left. Each type of continuous
data has a unique icon. If the display mode is set to
Lines mode, streams of controllers are represented
as breakpoints on a line.
Continuous Data Ruler: Measures continuous data
events. When viewing all continuous data types in
the grid, this ruler can be switched among three
scales: a controller scale from 0 to 127, whose
origin rests at the bottom of the window; a pitch
bend scale from -8192 to 8191, whose origin
appears in the middle of the grid; and a
combination scale that shows both pitch bend and
controller data at once on a -80 to 127 scale. Switch
among the three scales by clicking on the ruler.
Grid display mode: This menu lets you choose
among three ways to display continuous data in the
grid: Points, Bars and Lines.
Grid view filter: Lets you insert and view only one
type of continuous data in the grid while hiding all
others, or view all data types at the same time.
Loop: Use the Loop tool in the Tool palette to insert
loops in the Marker strip. Drag the loop icon to
move the loop. Drag the loop’s right bracket to
change the loop length. When several tracks are
being displayed in the window, loops in the Marker
Strip belong to the current master track.
Marker Strip: Displays markers, meter changes,
key changes, and loops. Loops (in the current
master track) can be edited in this strip. Markers
and meter changes must be edited in the
Conductor track or Markers window. No MIDI
data appears in the Marker Strip.
Median Strip: Displays discrete MIDI events such
as patch changes, mode changes, switch controllers
like #64 (sustain), system exclusive events and
mute automation events. Each type is displayed as
an icon, defined by the Legend window. The
Median Strip serves as a border between the Note
Grid and the Continuous Data grid; drag it
vertically with the handle on the left to propor-
tionally resize the grids. Double-click it to hide the
continuous grid.
Median Strip Move Handle: Moves the Median
Strip up or down. Double-click to hide the
Continuous Data Grid entirely.
Memory Cycle: Drag the memory cycle points to
change them.
Note Grid: Displays notes as horizontal bars on a
time vs. pitch grid. Only notes are displayed on this
grid. Pitch is determined vertically by the pitch
ruler on the left. Location and duration are
measured by the Time Ruler above, with duration
determined by the length of the bar. If the Shade
notes using velocity MIDI Editor preference is
checked, a note’s velocity is indicated by its
shading. (Darker means a higher velocity; lighter
means lower.) Notes can be edited with the mouse
one at a time, in a group, or by region.
Note-on velocity: Can be edited just like
continuous controller data. Use the View Filter to
hide note-on velocities, if desired.
Insert menu: Specifies the type of continuous data
to be inserted with the Pencil tool.
Pitch Ruler: Measures pitch along the vertical axis
with a standard keyboard format. Each C-natural
indicates the octave. For clarity, shaded lines
