54 Chapter 5 MIDI Regions
The Hyper Editor
The Hyper Editor is useful as a graphically-based drum grid editor, and also for the
graphic input, and editing, of MIDI controller data.
There are two predefined Hypersets that can be selected from the pull-down menu
below the Toolbox (GM Drum Kit and MIDI Controller). You can freely alter these
Hypersets, and can also define completely new ones. Here’s a brief explanation on the
use of the Hyper Editor.
To insert note or controller information:
1 Select the Pencil tool.
2 Click, or click and drag horizontally on a row with your mouse. Higher note velocities/
controller values appear as taller vertical bars. Note events are only added when
inserting them in the Velocity row.
To adjust existing note or controller information:
m Click on an individual event, and drag vertically with your mouse (this can be done
with the Pencil or Arrow tools). Alternately, you can draw over the existing curve.
Note: Select the “Kick” MIDI Region, and open the Hyper Editor via the Windows menu
(or by pressing Command-5
) and experiment with these techniques, making use of
each of the tools. While in the Hyper Editor, click-hold on the MIDI Controls pull-down
menu and select the GM Drum Kit entry. You’ll see a very different view of the “Kick”
drum part. Once again, please experiment with the various tools on the individual
parts.
More information about the Hyper Editor can be found in the Logic reference and
Onscreen Help system.
