Controller Editor

MIDI instruments can use controller events to alter the sound they generate. A track editor's CONTR button lets you show or hide a particular controller's editor.

Controller Editor

All controllers are supported except the data entry and RPN controllers (#5, #38 and #96...101).

Switching Controller Editors

Controllers #64..#69 are 'switching" controllers: they are either 'on' or 'off'. The Sustain and Soft controllers are of the switching type. A switching controller's editor is a horizontal line that can be up or down. Up means off, down means on (just like a piano sustain or soft pedal).

The editor can be in one of two modes:

• Select: the mouse selects a part. You can then use the On or Off buttons.
• Add/Draw: the mouse draws a line. Doing this on the upper half of the editor switches the controller off. Using the lower half switches it on.

The buttons in the bottom left corner can be used to switch mode. There's no difference between Add and Draw mode. The Alt key can be used to temporarily switch between Select and Add mode.

Continuous Controller Editors

All other editors use dots to represent the controller value. They work just like Automated Fader effects.

Note: the controller editor's Undo/Redo buttons do exactly the same as the main editor's, ie. both work on both note and controller edits.
