CONFIGURING THE VOICE LIST
The most unique aspect of the Step Editor is that unlike most other MIDI editors,
Step Editor does not display all MIDI notes. Not only can you choose which notes are
displayed, you’re free to rearrange their order in the list at the left of the editor. This
is very handy when working with drum parts, as the list can be set to display just the
notes you’ll be using.
The list of of notes is called the Voice List (to avoid confusion with the MIDI notes in
the grid). Notes are always displayed top to bottom, i.e. highest notes at the top, lowest
notes appear at the bottom.
There are a couple of ways to add notes to the note list.
 If you’ve already recorded a MIDI clip, double-click the MIDI clip, and and click
the Step button in the toolbar. Mixcraft will automatically create a Voice List
with all notes used in the selected clip. These can be edited with the Step Editor
Notes Chooser keyboard by clicking the Add/Edit button. (keep reading for how
to use the Step Editor Notes Chooser keyboard)
 To create a custom Voice List from scratch, select an empty MIDI track in the
Track List, right-click in the Main Clip next to it and select Add Instrument Clip
to create an empty MIDI clip. Double-click the MIDI clip, and click the Step
button in the toolbar. To add MIDI notes, click the Add/Edit button. This opens
the handsomely rendered Step Editor Notes Chooser keyboard.
USING THE STEP EDITOR NOTES CHOOSER
To add notes to the Voice List with Step Editor Notes Chooser keyboard, simply click
keys on the keyboard. Notes can be removed by right-clicking. The keyboard keys will
turn beige for newly selected notes; keyboard keys turn green if there are notes in the
grid already using the “voice”.
