Displaying and editing MIDI

Zoom and scroll MIDI
In the Sequencer, vertical zoom options are independent from those in the Main panel, letting you display musical
notes and audio amplitude with differing levels of detail. By contrast, horizontal zoom options link the two panels,
ensuring that both display the same time range so you can tightly synchronize edits.
• To vertically zoom a track, position the mouse over the vertical keyboard or data ruler, and roll the mouse wheel.
• To vertically scroll a track, drag the vertical data ruler at the right of the track up or down.
• To vertically resize a track, drag the track borders up or down.
• To fit all note data in a track, double-click the MIDI grid.
• To vertically zoom all tracks, click the zoom buttons below the vertical scroll bar.
• To horizontally zoom all tracks, click the zoom buttons to the right of the horizontal scroll bar.

Determine musical timing with the MIDI grid
Grid options let you precisely evaluate and adjust musical timing. These options determine the default length of
manually entered notes, as well as intervals for step recording. Grid snapping ensures that edited notes synchronize
with the beat.
❖
In the Grid options area of the Sequencer, do any of the following:
• Click the Snap To Grid button
• From the Note Value menu, choose a beat subdivision (for example, 1/4 or 1/8).
The Sessions Properties panel determines the number of beats per bar. (See "Set tempo, time signature, and key for
a session" on page 223.)
