Mapped Instrument window

The Mapped Instrument window opens when you double-click a mapped instrument icon or
create a new mapped instrument. The rows correspond to input notes, and the columns contain
the various parameters available for each note.

Keyboard (Selecting Notes): The keyboard on the left represents the input notes, which can be
played by clicking them. You can also select individual notes or note ranges by dragging the
mouse over the notes you want to use. To select multiple notes, Shift-click them. Any value
alterations apply to all selected notes.

Input Name: In the first column, you can click the input note name (E6, for example), and enter
a name of up to 12 characters. Press Return or click outside the field to confirm the new name.
You can initialize the names of the selected notes to:

Pitch descriptions (C#3, for example) by choosing Initialize > Names as Notes.

The names of GM Standard drum sounds by choosing Initialize > Names as General MIDI.

If a MIDI region (on a track routed to a mapped instrument object) is displayed in the Piano
Roll Editor, the names of the notes being played appear on the vertical keyboard.

Output Note: This column is used to set the output note. This is done by either:

Double-clicking the note description and editing the text

Dragging the beam to the right of the output note name

MIDI notes are sent while the value is being changed, allowing you to hear what you’re doing.
Use the Initialize > Output Notes command to match the output notes of the selected pitches
to the input note pitches.
