Getting to Know the Hyper Editor
The Hyper Editor displays MIDI note or controller events as vertical beams, placed along
a user-defined time grid. This makes the Hyper Editor the ideal place to:

 Add or edit controller data, such as note velocities. It makes some editing tasks—

such as data scaling—much faster.

 Quickly create and edit MIDI drum parts.

 Event definition: Each horizontal row (or lane) provides an event definition, which

determines the type of event displayed/affected. When you select a row in the name
column, its event definition is shown in the Inspector’s Event Definition Parameter
box.

 MIDI events: Each MIDI event is represented by a vertical beam, aligned with a

particular time position. The value of the controller, or velocity of the note, is
indicated by the height of the beam. Taller beams indicate higher values.
