Use transform sets
The Presets pop-up menu is shown at the top-left corner of the MIDI Transform window. The
first 17 items in the menu are write-protected preset templates for common editing tasks,
such as creating crescendos or fixing note lengths. For more information, see
.
You can temporarily change the used parameters of a preset, but all changes are discarded when
you exit the preset.
Depending on your needs, it may be worthwhile to create your own transform sets. These can
be configured and saved as part of a project. (Doing this in your template projects makes your
transform sets available in all projects.) Your transform sets are shown at the bottom of the
Presets pop-up menu.

Do one of the following:
•
To select all events that meet the selection conditions: Click Select Only. The events will not
be transformed. You can use this option to refine your selection, and make sure that your
conditions only affect the events that you truly want to transform.
•
To transform all selected events, in accordance with the operations settings: Click Operate Only.
(The selection conditions have no effect.) This is useful if you want to edit events that you’ve
already selected manually.

To select all events that match the conditions, and transform them according to the operations
settings: Click Select and Operate.
Note: The number of selected regions and events (that match the conditions) are displayed
above the selection and operation buttons.
