Multiple MIDI Region Edit
The Matrix Editor can display all MIDI Regions from a folder, or those for an entire song,
simultaneously.
Display of all MIDI Regions
Double-clicking on the background of the Matrix Editor shows all MIDI Regions. The
beginning of each MIDI Region is indicated by a vertical line of the same color as the
MIDI Region itself.
A Matrix Editor window with an activated (same level) link function (single click on the
chain link button) shows all MIDI Regions in the folder displayed in the Arrange
window, or songs.
Hide Notes of Non-Selected MIDI Regions
Selecting View > Show Selected Regions Only limits the display to only show notes in
selected MIDI Regions.
Display of Individual MIDI Regions
Double-clicking on a note changes the display level to only show the contents of the
(parent) MIDI Region that contains the note.
A further double-click on a note opens an Event List window (or with Option held: the
Score Editor).
A Matrix Editor window in Show Contents link mode (double-click on the chain link
button), shows the contents of a single MIDI Region selected in the Arrange window.
The following text assumes that all MIDI Regions are displayed.
Selection
You can create a selection over multiple MIDI Regions and move or lengthen events, or
use functions as required.
Selecting a note in the Matrix window chooses the parent MIDI Region.
Info-Bars/Help Tags
When an individual MIDI Region is represented, the Info-Bar will show the number of
selected Notes.
When all MIDI Regions from a folder or song are displayed, the help tag shows the
number of “parent” MIDI Regions. As examples:
8/2
8 notes are selected from 2 MIDI Regions.
When notes from only one MIDI Region are selected, the MIDI Region name is shown
beside the number of selected notes.
