The bool column
By clicking in the “bool” column to the right in the list, you can select a boolean 
operator: “And” or “Or”.
A boolean operator combines two condition lines and determines the result in the 
following way:
• If two condition lines are combined with a boolean And, both conditions must 
be fulfilled for an element to be found.
The Logical Editor will only find elements that are notes and start at the...

Extract (Logical Editor only)
This works like Copy, but will cut the found events instead. Or in other words, 
Extract will transform all found events and move them to a new part on a new 
MIDI track.
Select (Logical Editor only)
This will simply select all found events, highlighting them for further work in the 
regular MIDI editors.

The Position and Length parameters are interpreted via the time base setting in the

Round by
This “rounds” the Action Target value using the value specified in the 
Parameter 1 column. In other words, the Action Target value is changed to the 
closest value that can be divided by the Parameter 1 value.
For example, if the Action Target value is 17 and Parameter 1 is 5, the result 
of rounding will be 15 (the closest value that can be divided by 5). Another 
word for this type of operation would be...

Use Value 1
This is only available when Action Target is set to Value 2. If this option is 
selected, the Value 1 setting in each event will be copied to the Value 2 
setting.
Mirror
This is only available when Action Target is set to Value 1 or Value 2. When 
this option is selected, the values will be “mirrored” around the value set in the 
Parameter 1 column.
In the case of notes, this will invert the scale, with the key set...
