Chapter 30: MIDI Editors 613
MIDI Editor Window Toolbar
The MIDI Editor window toolbar is similar to
the Edit window toolbar, but with a few excep-
tions. Each MIDI Editor window and the Edit
window can be configured independently of
one another. For example, you can have Nota-
tion view enabled in one MIDI Editor window,
but not another; or you can have a MIDI Editor
window set to Grid mode, but the Edit window
set to Slip mode. You can also customize the
toolbar in MIDI Editor windows.
Solo and Mute Buttons
In a MIDI editor window, the Solo and Mute
buttons affect tracks in all windows. They let
you either audition the tracks shown in the cur-
rent MIDI Editor window without the rest of the
mix, or let you hear just the mix without the
tracks shown in the MIDI Editor window.
Solo
The Solo button lets you solo all the tracks cur-
rently displayed in the MIDI Editor window.
Mute
The Mute button lets you mute all the tracks
currently displayed in the MIDI Editor window.
Mixed Mute and Solo States
The Solo and Mute buttons are global controls
in that they affect all tracks shown in a MIDI Ed-
itor window. If you independently solo or mute
tracks in the Edit window that are also shown in
a MIDI Editor window, the appearance of the
Solo and Mute buttons updates to indicate
mixed states. Mixed solo and mute states occur
when one or more tracks shown in the MIDI Ed-
itor window, but not all, are soloed or muted.
Notation View
The Notation view button lets you view MIDI
notes in the MIDI Editor window as music nota-
tion. In Notation view, MIDI and Instrument
tracks are not superimposed, but are shown as
staves just like in the Score Editor window.
Notation view enabled in a MIDI Editor window
You can access the Notation Display Track
Settings in a MIDI Editor window when in
Notation view. Select the Notation Display
Track Settings option from the Track List
menu or Right-click in the Notes pane and
select the Notation Display Track Settings
option from the Right-click menu. For more
information, see “Notation Display Track
Settings” on page 641.
