The Logical Editor, Transformer, and Input Transformer
Setting up filter conditions
• To remove a condition, select it and click the “-” button below the list.
Ö If you have already defined filter conditions and/or applied a preset, but want to start
again from scratch, you can initialize the settings by selecting the Init option from the
Presets pop-up menu.
You set up a filter condition line by clicking in the columns and selecting options from
the pop-up menus that appear. Here is a brief description of the columns:
• You can also set up filter conditions by dragging MIDI events directly into the
upper list.
If the list contains no entries, a MIDI event dragged into this section will form
conditions including the state and type of the event. If it contains entries, the
dragged event will initialize the matching parameters. For example, if a length
condition is used, the length will be set according to the length of the event.
Column Description
Left bracket This is used for “bracketing” several lines together when creating
conditions with multiple lines and the boolean operators And/Or, see
“Combining multiple condition lines” on page 589.
Filter Target Here you select which property to look for when finding elements.
Your choice here affects the available options in the other columns as
well, see below!
Condition This determines how the Logical Editor compares the property in the
Filter Target column to the values in the Parameter columns (see
below). The available options depend on the Filter Target setting.
Parameter 1 Here you set which value the element properties are compared to
(depending on the Filter Target).
For example, if the Filter Target is “Position” and Condition is “Equal”,
the Logical Editor will look for all elements starting at the position you
specify in the Parameter 1 column.
Parameter 2 This column is used if you have selected one of the “Range” options
in the Condition column. This allows you to find all elements with
values inside (or outside) the range between Parameter 1 and
Parameter 2.
Furthermore, if you want to find certain VST 3 events (Filter Target set
to “Type is” and Parameter 1 set to “VST3 Event”), you can use the
Parameter 2 column to specify the VST 3 parameter that you are
searching for, e.
g. Tuning.
Bar Range/Time
Base (Logical
Editor only)
This column is only used if the Filter Target is set to “Position”. If one
of the “Bar Range” options is selected in the Condition column, you
use the Bar Range/Time Base column to specify “zones” within each
bar (for example, allowing you to find all elements on or around the
first beat of every bar). If any of the other Condition options is
selected, you can use the Bar Range/Time Base column to specify
the time base (PPQ, Seconds, etc.). See
“Searching for elements at
certain positions (Logical Editor only)” on page 584 for details.
Right bracket This is used for “bracketing” several lines together, see “Combining
multiple condition lines” on page 589.
bool This allows you to insert the boolean operators And/Or, when
creating conditions with multiple lines, see
“Combining multiple
condition lines” on page 589.
