Chapter 12 Edit MIDI regions in the Piano Roll Editor 353
•
Rotate: The source events are moved to the destination position. The data that was
previously at the destination position, and the data that falls between the source and
destination positions, are all moved toward the source position. This rotates the data around
a central pivot point (halfway between the source and destination positions).
•
Direct Swap: Exchanges the source data with data of the same length, starting at the target
position. This allows you to swap the notes in bar 1 of a four-bar MIDI region with the notes
in bar 3 of the same region, for example.
•
Remove: Removes the MIDI data from the source region, but leaves the region at its original
position.
•
Left Locator and Right Locator: Allow you to edit the source area you defined with the left and
right locators.
•
Destination: Defines the destination position independently of the playhead position.
•
Number of Copies: Defines the number of copies.
•
Create new Region: When selected, a new MIDI region is created at the destination position. It
contains the copied (or moved) events.
Change the pitch of notes in the Piano Roll Editor
You can change the pitch of selected notes in the Piano Roll Editor. Changing the pitch lets you
transpose parts to a different key or harmonize a melodic line.
When you drag a note, its current position and pitch are shown in a help tag. The deviation from
the starting pitch is shown in semitone steps at the bottom left of the help tag. The starting
pitch appears in the info display of the Piano Roll Editor.
Change the pitch of notes
m Drag notes up or down to a new pitch.
You can use the keyboard at the left edge of the Piano Roll Editor as a guide when
dragging notes.
