Coloring Notes and Events

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

The following options are available on the Event Colors pop-up menu on the toolbar:

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 when 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.
