Searching for Value 1 or Value 2

A MIDI event is composed of several values. What is displayed for Value 1 and 2 depends on the type of event:

Event type

Value 1

Value 2

Notes

The Note Number/Pitch.

The velocity of the note.

Poly Pressure

The key that was pressed.

The amount of pressure for the key.

Controller

The type of Controller, displayed as a number.

The amount of Control Change.

Program Change

The Program Change number.

Not used.

Aftertouch

The amount of pressure.

Not used.

Pitchbend

The “fine-tune” of the bend. Not always used.

The coarse amount of bend.

VST 3 Event

Not used.

The value of the VST 3 Event parameter. The value range of the VST 3 event (0.0 to 1.0) is transformed into the MIDI value range (0-127), i. e., the VST 3 event value 0.5 corresponds to 64. For some operations that require a higher resolution, you can make use of the “VST 3 Value Operation” parameter.

Note

System Exclusive events are not included in the table above, because they do not use value 1 and 2.

Because value 1 and 2 have different meanings for different events, searching for value 2 = 64 would both find notes with the velocity 64 and controllers with the amount 64, etc. If this is not what you want, you can add an additional filter condition line with the Filter Target “Type”, specifying which type of events to find (see below).

Important

This is particularly useful when searching for note pitch or velocity values, as described below.

The general procedures when searching for value 1 or 2 are:

  • If you select any Condition other than the Range options, you set up a specific value in the Parameter 1 column.

    Figure: Here, the Logical Editor will find all events with a value 2 less than 80.

  • If you select Inside Range or Outside Range in the Condition column, the range consists of the values between Parameter 1 and Parameter 2.

    Note that Parameter 1 should have the lower value.
