Menu Reference
Logical Presets
This submenu contains various presets that let you per-
form advanced “search and replace” operations on MIDI
data.
Drum Map Setup…
This is where you load, create, modify and save drum
maps. The list to the left shows the currently loaded drum
maps; selecting a drum map in the list displays its sounds
and settings to the right.
Insert Velocities…
All MIDI editors feature an Insert Velocity pop-up, where
one of five different velocity values can be selected when
inserting notes. This menu item allows you to specify
which five velocity values should be available on the Insert
Velocity pop-up menu.
Reset
This function sends out note-off messages and resets
controllers on all MIDI channels. You can use this if you
experience hanging notes or stuck controllers etc.
Media menu
Open Pool Window
Opens the Pool.
Open MediaBay
Opens the MediaBay.
Open Loop Browser
Opens the Loop Browser.
Open Sound Browser
Opens the Sound Browser.
Import Medium…
The Import Medium dialog is used for importing files di-
rectly into the Pool.
Import Audio CD…
This opens a dialog that allows you to import audio from
audio CDs.
Find Missing Files…
This opens the Resolve Missing Files dialog that can be
used to find referenced files that may have been moved or
renamed etc.
In the dialog that appears, decide if you want the program
to try to find the file for you (Search), if you want to do it
yourself (Locate) or if you want to specify in which direc-
tory the program should search for the file (Folder).
Remove Missing Files
If the Pool contains audio files that cannot be found or re-
constructed, you may want to remove these:
Select this item to remove all missing files from the Pool
(and remove their corresponding events from the Project
window).
Delete Overlaps
(mono)
This function allows you to make sure that no two notes
of the same pitch overlap (i.e. that one starts before the
other ends). Overlapping notes of the same pitch can
confuse some MIDI instruments (a new Note On is trans-
mitted before the Note Off is transmitted). This command
can then be used to automatically rectify the problem.
Delete Overlaps
(poly)
This function shortens notes when required, so that no
note begins before another ends. This happens regard-
less of which pitch the notes have.
Velocity… Opens a dialog that allows you to manipulate the velocity
of notes in various ways.
Fixed Velocity This function sets the velocity of all selected notes to the
Insert Velocity value on the toolbar in the MIDI Editors.
Thin Out Data This thins out your MIDI data. Use this to ease the load on
MIDI devices if you have recorded very dense controller
curves etc.
Extract MIDI
Automation
This option allows you to automatically convert continu-
ous controller data of a MIDI part into MIDI track automa-
tion data.
Reverse This inverts the order of the selected events (or of all
events in the selected parts), causing the MIDI music to
play backwards. Note though, that the effect is different
from reversing an audio recording. With MIDI, the individ-
ual notes will still play as usual in the MIDI instrument –
it’s only the order of playback that is changed.
