Editing Note Expression data
Editing Note Expression data
In the Key Editor, you can view and edit the Note Expression data for notes in the Note
Expression editor. This is opened by double-clicking a note in the event display. In the
editor, you can add Note Expression data from scratch. All parameters that are
marked as visible in the Inspector are displayed as curves in the editor.
Ö When several notes are selected in the Key Editor and you double-click any of them,
the Note Expression editor opens for all these notes. This is useful if you want to edit
all notes in a chord in the same way, for example.
• To adjust the editor size, click and drag the Resize handle (in the center of the
lower border of the editor). This allows you to switch between three different
window sizes.
• To navigate from note to note while the editor is open, use the left and right arrow
keys.
You can also use the key commands [Tab] and [Shift]-[Tab] to step through the
notes.
To make settings in the editor, first select the parameter that you want to make
settings for. How to do this depends on whether you want to modify existing data or
enter new data from scratch:
• If you want to enter new data from scratch, i. e. create events for a parameter that
has not been used yet, you have to select this parameter in the Inspector to make
it available in the editor.
• If you want to edit existing data, you specify which parameter to edit in one of the
following ways: by clicking on the curve, by selecting the corresponding controller
on the Parameter pop-up menu, or by selecting the parameter on the Note
Expression Inspector tab.
The parameter pop-up menu in the lower left corner of the editor lists all
parameters that are used for the edited note. If the editor size is big enough, the
name of the edited parameter is displayed to the right of the pop-up menu.
• You can close the editor by clicking outside of it in the event display.
You can also specify a key command for opening and closing the Note Expression
editor.
The value display
The value display in the lower right corner of the editor shows the current value at the
(vertical) mouse pointer position. The value range differs depending on the parameter
type, e.
g. 0 to 127 for MIDI controllers or semitones and cents for Tuning.
Selection ranges
You can select a range of controller values by clicking and dragging in the editor with
the Object Selection tool.
• If you hold down [Shift] and drag, any previous selection will be kept.
• You can move selections by dragging them in the editor.
• To copy a selection in the editor, click on it, keep the mouse button pressed, then
press [Alt]/[Option] and drag.
