The MIDI Pitch Bend editor comprises the following:

  1. Editor header

    Contains the following options:

    • Editor menu: Allows you to change the MIDI controller or editor type shown in the editor. MIDI controllers into which you have already input points appear in the first menu level.

    • Sync : Copies all points in the editor from the primary instrument to secondary instruments. Only available when multiple instruments are shown in the Key Editor.

    • Convert to Constant Point : Makes the selected points constant. Only applies to points in regions.

    • Convert to Linear Point : Makes the selected points linear. Only applies to points in regions.

    • Value field: Displays the value of the earliest selected MIDI point. You can change this value in the value field, or click and drag the point upwards/downwards in the editor. The available range for MIDI pitch bend is -100% to +100%.

  2. Splitter

    Allows you to change the height of the editor by clicking and dragging. If multiple editors are open, this affects the height of the editors either side of the splitter.

  3. MIDI point

    A single change to the MIDI pitch, input using the Draw tool. Individual MIDI points are constant by default. Only points that are identical for all instruments shown in the Key Editor are editable.

  4. MIDI region

    A highlighted region that contains multiple points, input by clicking and dragging in a single motion with either the Draw tool or Line tool.

    By default, MIDI points in regions are linear, and the last point is constant. Only points that are identical for all instruments shown in the Key Editor are editable.

  5. MIDI value line

    When multiple instruments are shown in the Key Editor, a value line is shown for each instrument, using its color.
