NOTE AND AUTOMATION EDITING

Selecting what to edit
The Edit Mode shows the contents of a single track at a time on the Edit Pane. On instrument tracks, only one note
lane can have edit focus at a time.
• If a track is selected when you enter Edit Mode, the contents of the note lane with edit focus will be shown.
Also, all parameter automation lanes will be shown at the bottom of the Edit Pane. If a single clip was selected on
the note lane with edit focus when you switched to Edit Mode, it will automatically be opened. If no clip was se-
lected, the events will be grayed out. To be able to edit or draw notes and/or automation events, you need to open
the clip, for example by double-clicking it (see “Opening note and automation clips for editing”).
• If the selected track has multiple note lanes, the contents of the currently selected note lane will be shown.
To switch edit focus between note lanes, click on the note lane handle in the Track List.

• You can change track and note lane edit focus at any time, by clicking in the Track List.

to go back to the Song/Block View.
Opening note and automation clips for editing
Open a note clip for editing
Note clips can contain both note events - with velocity values - and performance controller events. By default, perfor-
mance controllers include Mod Wheel, Pitch Bend, Sustain Pedal, Aftertouch, Expression and Breath Controller.
However, the controller configuration can easily be changed (see “Creating new performance controller automation
lanes” and “Deleting performance controller automation lanes”).
In the Song/Block View, note events are displayed in a “piano roll” fashion whereas performance controllers are dis-
played as curves or lines in the clip. In the Song/Block View, it’s not possible to distinguish one performance control-
ler from another since all controllers are displayed together in the clip. The note clip in the picture below contains
note events and Mod Wheel and Pitch Bend performance controller events:
