Customizing the Display

There are various ways you can customize the way Events are displayed:

Grid

The spacing of the vertical gridlines shown in the Controller Editor change according to the Snap setting. The Snap setting determines the “density” of Events when creating continuous Controller curves. For very smooth curves set Snap to a small note value. However, please note that using small note values for Snap creates a very large number of Events when you draw Controller curves. This can in some instances cause MIDI playback to “stutter”. A medium-low density is often sufficient. If you do set Snap to a very small note value like 64, you may have to zoom in the window to be able to “see” the gridlines.

• You can hide or show the grid by selecting “Hide/Show Grid” from the Do pop-up menu.

Ruler formats

Click the mouse position box to change the Ruler format between time position and bars, beats and ticks.

Labels

The labels display the Controller Type, and what Channel or Track it belongs to, which is very convenient when you are displaying an Audio or MIDI Mix Track containing mixes for multiple Audio Channels or MIDI Tracks.

• You can hide or show the labels by selecting “Hide/Show Labels” from the Do pop-up menu.

Using Window Sets

You can use the Window Sets function on the Windows menu to switch between several appearances for the same window. For example, if you are editing Audio Mix Tracks you can store all the Volume Events for all channels as one Window Set. By saving several Window Sets, all for the same window (Top Window Only activated and with the “Save Settings” option active), each Window Set can be used to recall a different selection of data types. See page 655 for information about Window Sets.
