You can make selected MIDI points in regions constant or linear after they have been input; for example, if you want some points in a region to be constant.

By default, MIDI points are constant when you input them separately, and linear when you click and drag them as a region. The last MIDI point in a region is constant.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Key Editor is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Select is selected in the Key Editor panel toolbar.

  • You have selected the instruments you want to show in the Key Editor.

  • You have added at least one MIDI CC or MIDI Pitch Bend editor to the Key Editor.

Procedure

  1. In the MIDI CC or Pitch Bend editor, select the MIDI points in regions you want to make constant/linear.
    Note

    You can only make MIDI points in regions constant/linear.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • To make the selected points constant, click Convert to Constant Point in the editor header.

    • To make the selected points linear, click Convert to Linear Point in the editor header.

Result

The selected MIDI points become constant or linear.

Value lines always appear horizontal after constant points. Value lines appear angled after linear points if the next point has a different value, indicating a smooth transition between the points.

Example
