List Editor operations
2. Select the Draw tool and click in the event display at the desired position (relative
to the ruler).
If you are creating note events, you can click and drag to set the length of the note.
The new event appears in the list and in the display. Its properties will be set to default
values, but can be adjusted in the list.
• Notes will get the insert velocity value set in the Insert Velocity field on the toolbar,
see
“Setting velocity values” on page 494.
Editing in the list
The list allows you to perform detailed numerical editing of the events properties. The
columns have the following functionality:
Column Description
> An arrow in this column indicates the event that starts closest before
the project cursor position. If you click in this column for an event, the
project cursor is moved to the start of that event. Double-clicking
moves the cursor position and starts/stops playback – useful for
auditioning when editing in the list.
Type The event type. This cannot be changed.
Start The start position of the event, shown in the format selected for the
ruler. Changing this is the same as moving the event. Note that
moving the event past any other event in the list will re-sort the list
(the list always shows the events in the order they are played back).
End This is only used for note events, allowing you to view and edit the
end position of a note (thereby resizing it).
Length This is only used for note events. It shows the length of the note –
changing this resizes the note and automatically changes the End
value as well.
Data 1 This is the “data 1” or “value 1” property of the event. The content of
this depends on the event type – for notes, this is the pitch, for
example. Where applicable, the values are shown in the most relevant
form. For instance, the Data 1 value for notes is shown as a note
number in the format selected in the Preferences dialog (Event
Display–MIDI page). For further information, see the table in the
section
“Editing in the value display” on page 526.
Data 2 This is the “data 2” or “value 2” property of the event. The content of
this depends on the event type – for notes, this is the note-on velocity
value, for example. For further information, see the table in the section
“Editing in the value display” on page 526.
Data 3 This is the “data 3” or “value 3” property of the event. This value is
only used for note events, where it corresponds with the note-off
velocity.
Channel The MIDI channel of the event. Note that this setting is normally
overridden by the channel setting for the track. To make a MIDI event
play back on “its own” channel, set its track to channel “Any” in the
Project window.
Comment This column is used for some event types only, providing an
additional comment about the event.
