Chapter 12
The Matrix Editor

12.1 Display

Only notes are shown in the Matrix editor. The beams (and the
ways they can be edited) are very similar to the sequences in
the Arrange window.

Position

You can see the position of a note in the bar ruler. The back-
ground is marked by vertical lines to assist with positioning:
•
A straight line at every bar,
•
A dashed line at every beat, and
•
A dotted line at every division (you can alter the division
value in the Transport window, or to the left in the parameter
area).

Velocity

The velocity of a note is shown by a horizontal line in the note.
The length of the line in relation to the total length of the note
corresponds to the velocity value of the note (in proportion to
the maximum value of 127).
In addition, the Matrix editor shows the velocity range of notes
by using different colors.
This makes it very easy to see at a glance what spread of veloc-
ities are contained in a sequence.
If you change the velocity of MIDI notes with the V tool, you
will notice that the color of the notes change as you do so.
It may seem obvious, but... please note that this function only
works with a color monitor.
