Event List: Shows all MIDI event types as a list. This is the editor to use when you need

to make precise changes to any aspect of a MIDI event.

Transform window: This is not really an editor, in the same way that the other windows

are. You use the Transform window for MIDI-processing tasks, using mathematical
variables. While this might sound a little overwhelming, you can use the Transform
window to create a crescendo in a region, double or halve the speed of notes in a
region, and more. Many processes are available as presets, and you can create your
own.
