The MIDI editors
List Editor operations
• You can edit several events at once. If several events are selected and you edit a
value for one event, the other selected events’ values will be changed as well.
Normally, any initial value differences between the events will be maintained – i. e.
the values will change by the same amount. If you press [Ctrl]/[Command] when
you edit, however, all events will get the same value.
Ö For SysEx (system exclusive) events, you can only edit the position (Start) in the list.
However, when you click the Comment column, the MIDI SysEx Editor opens, in
which you can perform detailed editing of system exclusive events (see
“Working with
SysEx messages” on page 527).
Ö When you trim the beginning of a note in the List Editor, the note may move to a
different position in the list (since other events may now begin before the edited
event).
Editing in the event display
The event display allows you to edit the events graphically using the tools on the
toolbar. You can edit single events as well as several selected events simultaneously.
• To move an event, click and drag it to a new position.
Note that moving the event past any other event in the display will re-sort the list
(the list always shows the events in the order they are played back). As a result, the
vertical position of the event in the display will change as well.
• To make a copy of an event, press [Alt]/[Option] and drag it to a new position.
• To resize a note, select it and drag its end point with the Object Selection tool as
in the Project window.
This only works with notes.
• To mute or unmute an event, click on it with the Mute tool.
You can mute or unmute several events in one go by enclosing them in a selection
rectangle with the Mute tool.
• You can select a color scheme for the events with the Event Colors pop-up menu
on the toolbar.
This affects how all MIDI events are shown in the MIDI editors, see “Coloring notes
and events” on page 490.
• To delete an event, select it and press [Backspace] or [Delete], or click on it with
the Erase tool in the event display.
Filtering
The Filters bar is displayed below the toolbar in the List Editor. It contains two
sections. On the left, you can find controls for setting up complex filters, and on the
right, you can exclude certain event types from being displayed.
• To show or hide the Filters bar, click the “Set up Window Layout” button on the
toolbar and activate or deactivate the Filters option.
The Show section (complex filtering)
On the left of the Filters bar, you find the Show pop-up menu. This can be used to
filter the event display based on complex criteria. Proceed as follows:
1. Select one or more events.
2. Open the Show pop-up menu and select one of the options.
