MIDI editor

Double-click a MIDI region on an Instrument Web or Instrument Run track to open the MIDI editor. It has three tabs: Piano, Drum and List. Press Esc to close it. Every edit is one step in the shared undo history.

The piano roll. Tools along the top:

ToolWhat it does
SelectDrag to move notes, drag empty space to marquee-select
MIDI Preview (M)Hear notes as you click or move them
DrawClick to add a note, drag to set its length
EraseClick or drag over notes to delete them
SplitClick a note to cut it in two at that point
GlueClick to merge touching notes of the same pitch
MuteClick a note to toggle it silent — it is kept, not played
VelocityDrag up or down on a note
QuantizeSnap the selected notes to the grid; with nothing selected, click a note
StretchDrag a note to change its length
ZoomClick to zoom in, Shift-click to zoom out

Quantize follows the region’s quantize settings: grids from 1/1 to 1/64, triplet and dotted variants, strength and swing.

A grid of hits per drum note. Tools: Select, MIDI Preview, Draw (click an empty cell to add a hit), Erase, Velocity and Quantize.

Every event as a row. Position and length are shown as bar · beat · division · tick with a read-only frame value; drag a value to edit it. Select All, Deselect and Delete Selected act on the rows. Automation events appear here too.
