September 10, 2024 08:18

The MIDI Editor lets you fine-tune your sound by adjusting note placements or tweaking velocity. Here's how to use it:

Open up the editor by clicking on the MIDI Editor button at the bottom left corner of the screen. Here’s how to use the tools:

- Selecting and moving notes
- Drawing and changing the note’s length
- Adjusting the velocity of the notes
- Activate the Headphones icon to preview the notes while editing
Legato - Use Legato when you want to tie the notes together, making them smoothly connected
Humanize - Use Humanize to make the notes less precise, giving them a "human" touch that is heard while playing an instrument
+1/-1 or +12/-12 - Adjust the pitch of the notes by moving them +/- 1 semitone at a time or +/- 12 semitones at a time.
1/1 to 1/32T Quantize - Adjust your notes to the closest time grid according to the Quantization value selected
Smart View - Shows rows that belong to the selected scale or contain notes

Open the editor by tapping on the MIDI region and selecting the MIDI Editor button. Here’s how to use the tools:

Add and remove notes by tapping
Adjust Note Position - Tap and hold the note to drag it to the desired location. If you wish to make smaller changes, make sure to turn off Snap to Grid by disabling the Snap button at the top right corner of the screen.
Adjust Note Duration - Tap, hold, and drag the note to adjust the note length
Select multiple notes - Press and hold on an empty part of the MIDI Editor until the Selection Indicator is displayed. Drag the Selection Indicator over the notes you'd like to select.

You can also adjust the velocity of your MIDI notes. Here's how:

Tap and drag within the MIDI Editor grid to select the notes that you wish to adjust
Once the notes are highlighted, tap the Velocity Icon
Adjust the Slider from Left to Right to either decrease or increase the velocity of the notes. You can tap-drag to select one MIDI note or a series of MIDI notes to adjust its velocity.
