The Logical Editor, Transformer, and Input Transformer
Selecting a function
Maybe you wanted to find all notes that either had the pitch C3 or the MIDI channel 1
(but no non-note events)? Then you need to add some brackets:
• Expressions within brackets are evaluated first.
If there are several layers of brackets, these are evaluated “from the inside out”,
starting with the innermost brackets.
You add brackets by clicking in the bracket columns and selecting an option. Up to
triple brackets can be selected.
Selecting a function
The pop-up menu at the bottom of the Logical Editor is where you select the function
– the basic type of editing to be performed.
Below, the available options are listed. Note that some options are not available in the
Transformer effect.
Delete
Deletes all elements found by the Logical Editor. In the case of the Transformer, this
function will remove (or “mute”) all found elements from the “output stream” – the
actual elements on the track are not affected.
Transform
Changes one or several aspects of the found elements. You set up exactly what is
changed in the action list, see
“Specifying actions” on page 591.
Insert
This will create new elements and insert these into the part(s) (Logical Editor) or the
output stream (Transformer). The new elements will be based on the elements found
by the Logical Editor’s filter conditions, but with any changes you have set up in the
action list applied.
Another way of expressing this is that the Insert function copies the found elements,
transforms them according to the action list and inserts the transformed copies
among the existing elements.
Insert Exclusive
This will transform the found elements according to the action list. Then, all elements
that were not found (that did not meet the filter conditions) are deleted (Logical Editor)
or removed from the output stream (Transformer).
Copy (Logical Editor only)
This will copy all found elements, transform them according to the action list and paste
them into a new part on a new MIDI track. The original events are not affected.
