Editing MIDI tracks

• The Track Data item corresponds to the actual MIDI track in the Project window and can contain MIDI parts (which in turn can contain MIDI events).

• The Automation item corresponds to the automation track in the Project window, and contains the track’s automation events.

When editing the Track Data, the following parameters are available:

The list columns for MIDI events

Type

The type of MIDI event. This cannot be changed.

Start

The position of the event. Editing this value is the same as moving the event.

End

This is only used for note events, allowing you to view and edit the end position of a note thereby resizing it.

Length

This is only used for note events. It shows the length of the note – changing this resizes the note and automatically changes the End value as well.

Data 1

The property of this value depends on the type of MIDI event:

• For notes, this is the note number (pitch). This is displayed and edited as a note name and an octave number, with the values ranging between C-2 and G8.

• For controller events, this is the type of controller, displayed in words. Note that you can edit this by entering a number – the corresponding controller type is automatically displayed.

• For pitchbend events, this is the fine adjustment of the bend amount.

• For poly pressure events, this is the note number (pitch).

• For VST 3 events, this is the event parameter (e. g. Volume).

• For other event types, this is the value of the event.

Data 2

The property of this value depends on the type of MIDI event:

• For notes, this is the note-on velocity.

• For controller events, this is the value of the event.

• For pitchbend events, this is the coarse bend amount.

• For poly pressure events, this is the amount of pressure.

• For VST 3 events, this is the value of the event parameter, with a range of 0.0 to 1.0.

• For other event types, this is not used.

Channel

The event’s MIDI channel.

Comment

This column is used for some event types only, providing an additional comment about the event.

The list columns for MIDI parts

Name

The name of the part.

Start

The start position of the part. Editing this value is the same as moving the part.

End

The end position of the part. Changing this is the same as resizing the part (and will automatically affect the Length value as well).

Length

The length of the part. Changing this resizes the part and automatically changes the End value.

Offset

This adjusts the start position of the events within the part. Adjusting this value is the same as sliding the contents of the part in the Project window.

Setting a positive Offset value is the same as sliding the contents to the left, while a negative Offset corresponds to sliding the contents to the right.

Mute

Click in this column to mute or unmute the part.
