bool
This allows you to insert the boolean operators And/Or, when creating 
conditions with multiple lines.
You can also set up filter conditions by dragging MIDI events directly into the upper 
list.
If the list contains no entries, a MIDI event dragged into this section will form

NOTE
System Exclusive events are not included in the table above, because they do not 
use value 1 and 2.
Because value 1 and 2 have different meanings for different events, searching for

amount 64, etc. If this is not what you want, you can add an additional filter condition 
line with the Filter Target “Type”, specifying which type of...
