To set all other selection conditions

µ

Click the pop-up menus (in each column that is needed) to define the selection criteria
for events.

One or two value fields appear below the pop-up menu, unless Map is chosen. You can
assign one of the following value conditions for each of the parameter columns:

“=”: The event must be equal to the value in the field, for the condition to be fulfilled.

For example, only note C#3 events will meet the condition.

Unequal: The event must not be equal to the value in the field, for the condition to be

fulfilled. All events that are not C#3 will meet the condition, for example.

Smaller/Equal (<=): The event value must be less than, or equal to, the value in the field

(a note velocity less than, or equal to 98, for example) for the condition to be fulfilled.

Larger/Equal (>=): The event value must be larger than, or equal to, the value in the

field (a note pitch higher than, or equal to C#3, for example), for the condition to be
fulfilled.

Inside: The event must fall within the value range (of event positions or note pitches,

for example) of both fields, for the condition to be fulfilled.

Outside: The event must be outside the value range (of event positions or note pitches,

for example) of both fields, for the condition to be fulfilled.

Map: Most conditions are numerical relationships, and the condition is met if the

incoming MIDI event value satisfies the condition. The last condition, Map, works a
little differently. Two numerical parameters are specified, and the incoming value is
first converted by the map, to create a mapped value. The mapped value is then
compared with the two parameters to see if it falls inside them. Incoming events with
a mapped value that falls within the range will fulfill the condition—all other events
will not fulfill the condition (see

Using the Map

).

To set the values for a selection condition

µ

Use the mouse as a slider, or type a value directly into the field.

Defining Operations

The Operations area is used to define the changes you want to make to events that meet
the selection conditions. As with the selection condition pop-up menus, you choose an
operation in the appropriate event parameter columns. One or two value fields may
appear, depending on the chosen operation.

To define the operation for the status event parameter column

µ

Click the pop-up menu, and choose one of the following operations for the Status
condition:

Thru: The event type passes through unaltered.
