CHAPTER 2
You can change note pitch and duration by simply dragging on the
rectangular representations. But more importantly, you can view and edit
MIDI controller messages graphically with the mouse instead of having to
deal with raw numbers. For more details about the Piano Roll view, see
Chapter 7.
Event List View
If you really want precise control over the data in your project, the Event
List view is the tool for the job. The Event List view shows each
individual event in a track (or the entire project) as special keywords and
numbers in a list, as shown in Figure 2.6.
Using this view is similar to looking at the raw MIDI data that is recorded
from your MIDI keyboard or controller. You can edit the characteristics of
single notes and MIDI controller messages by typing in data. You’ll
probably use the Piano Roll view more often, but it’s nice to know the
Event List view is available if you need it. I’ll talk more about the Event
List view in Chapter 7.

editing tasks, the Event

events in a project.
