Glue Tool
The Glue tool performs the reverse operation of the Scissors tool. All selected Regions
are merged into a single Region, which is assigned the name and track position of the
first Region on the time axis.
Crosshair Tool
The Crosshair is used to input a linear series of MIDI events in the Hyper Editor.
MIDI Thru Tool
Clicking on an instrument in the Environment with the MIDI Thru tool assigns the
instrument to the selected track in the Arrange window, thereby making it the active
MIDI Thru instrument.
Voice Splitter Tool
You can separate polyphonic voices onto different staves in the Score Editor by
drawing a dividing line with the Voice Splitter tool (provided you are using a
polyphonic score style).
Camera Tool
The Camera tool is used to select, and export, sections of the Score Editor display as
graphics files.
Quantize Tool
The Quantize tool is used to correct the timing of MIDI note events in the Matrix and
Score Editors.
Velocity Tool
You can use the Velocity tool to change the velocity of notes in the Matrix and Score
Editors.
Help Tags
A help tag appears just below the mouse cursor position—for as long as the mouse
button is held down—when using many of the tools. The help tag provides useful
feedback about the type of operation you are performing.
Important: You must enable the Preferences > Display > Show Help Tags option in order
to view help tags during editing operations.
During operations involving Regions, the help tag will look something like this:
From left to right (and from top to bottom), the values indicate: (name of ) operation,
mouse (or Region) position, Region name, track number, and length of the Region.
