Event Colors Menu

You can select different color schemes for the note events in the MIDI editor.

  • To open the Event Colors pop-up menu, click Event Colors on the toolbar.

The following options are available:

Velocity

The note events get different colors depending on their velocity values.

Pitch

The note events get different colors depending on their pitch.

Channel

The note events get different colors depending on their MIDI channel value.

Part

The note events get the same color as their corresponding part in the Project window. Use this option if you are working with 2 or more tracks in an editor, to see which note events belong to which track.

Grid Match

The note events get different colors depending on their time position. For example, this mode enables you to see if the notes of a chord start at the exact same beat.

Sound Slot (Cubase Pro only)

The note events get different colors depending on the articulation that has been assigned to the note in the Expression Map Setup dialog.

Voice

The note events get different colors depending on their voice (soprano, alto, tenor, etc.).

Chord Track

The note events get different colors depending on whether they match the current chord, scale, or both.

For all of the options except Part, the pop-up menu also contains a Setup option. This option opens a dialog in which you can specify the colors that are associated with velocities, pitches, or channels.
