Set selection conditions
You can define conditions that determine which events are selected for transform operations.
This is done in the Selection Conditions area of the MIDI Transform window. Each column
represents a different MIDI event parameter.
The condition is considered to be fulfilled when an event matches the defined effective range,
and values, of all event parameters. These ranges and values are determined in the pop-up
menus and fields found under each of the event parameter columns.
Selection conditions
•
Position: Determines the time position of the event, referenced to the start point of the MIDI
region (not the start point of the project).
•
Status: Determines the event type.
•
Channel: Recorded MIDI channel of the event
•
Data Byte 1/Pitch: First data byte (controller number) or note pitch
•
Data Byte 2/Velocity: Second data byte (controller value) or note velocity
Note: The parameters displayed in the Data Byte fields are dependent on the Status pop-up
menu setting. Certain Status pop-up menu settings will not show the Data Byte fields at all.
•
Length: Length of the note or event
•
Subposition: Time position of the event, within a bar
Choose the event type
m Open the Status pop-up menu to determine which events will be selected. You have a choice of
two settings:
•
All: All event types fulfill the condition.
•
“=”: An additional pop-up menu is displayed (below the Status pop-up menu), where you can
define the event type. These include note, poly pressure, control change, program change,
channel pressure, pitch bend, meta, and fader.
Set all other selection conditions
m Open the pop-up menus (in each column that is needed) to define the selection criteria for
events. One or two value fields appear below the pop-up menu, unless Map is chosen. You can
assign one of the following value conditions for each of the parameter columns:
•
“=”: The event must be equal to the value in the field, for the condition to be fulfilled. For
example, only note C#3 events will meet the condition.
•
Unequal: The event must not be equal to the value in the field, for the condition to be fulfilled.
All events that are not C#3 will meet the condition, for example.
•
Smaller/Equal (<=): The event value must be less than, or equal to, the value in the field (a note
velocity less than, or equal to 98, for example) for the condition to be fulfilled.
•
Larger/Equal (>=): The event value must be larger than, or equal to, the value in the field (a
note pitch higher than, or equal to C#3, for example), for the condition to be fulfilled.
•
Inside: The event must fall within the value range (of event positions or note pitches, for
example) of both fields, for the condition to be fulfilled.
•
Outside: The event must be outside the value range (of event positions or note pitches, for
example) of both fields, for the condition to be fulfilled.
