The channel and output settings
You can set separate MIDI channels and/or MIDI outputs 
for each sound in a drum map. The following rules apply:
When a drum map is selected for a track, the MIDI 
channel settings in the drum map override the MIDI chan-
nel setting for the track.
In other words, the MIDI channel setting you make in the Track list or In-
spector for the track is normally disregarded. If you want a drum sound to 
use the channel of the track, set it to channel “Any” in...

Open the Functions pop-up menu in the top left corner to 
open a list of available functionalities:
ÖDrum maps are saved with the project files. If you have 
created or modified a drum map, you should use the Save 
function to store it as a separate XML file, available for 
loading into other projects.
If you always want to have the same drum map(s) included in your 
projects, you may want to load these into the template – see “Save as 
Template” on page 451.

The List Editor – Overview
The toolbar
The toolbar contains several items that are the same as in 
the Key Editor (edit solo, snap, quantize settings, etc.). 
These are described earlier in this chapter. The following 
toolbar items are unique to the List Editor:
The Insert pop-up menu is used when creating new 
events.
This is where you determine what type of event to add (see “Inserting 
events” on page 364).
The Mask pop-up menu and Filter view (Show Filter 
View button) allow you...

Customizing the view
You can click and drag the divider between the list and 
the event display to make one area wider and the other 
narrower. Furthermore, the list can be customized in the 
following ways:
You can change the order of the columns by dragging 
the column headings.
You can resize columns by dragging the dividers be-
tween the column headings.
Setting the display format
Just like in the Project window, you set the display format 
(bars+beats,...

ÖFor SysEx (system exclusive) events, you can only edit 
the position (Start) in the list.
However, when you click the Comment column, the MIDI SysEx Editor 
opens, in which you can perform detailed editing of system exclusive 
events (see “Working with System Exclusive messages” on page 390).
Editing in the event display
The event display allows you to edit the events graphically 
using the tools on the toolbar. You can edit single events 
as well as several selected events...

In addition to the above options, the menu also gives you 
access to the presets available in the Logical Editor (see 
“The Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer” 
on page 367). Furthermore, the “Setup…” item on the 
Mask pop-up menu gives you direct access to the Logical 
Editor. In that editor you can create very complex masking 
settings.
When you apply any of the presets from the Logical Editor 
or use the Logical Editor to create masking settings your-
self, only the...

The Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer
Introduction
Most of the time you will perform your MIDI editing graphi-
cally in one of the main graphic editors. But there are times 
when you want more of a “search and replace” function on 
MIDI data, and that’s where the Logical Editor comes in.
The principle for the Logical Editor is this:
You set up filter conditions to find certain events.
This could be events of a certain type, with certain attributes or values or 
on certain positions,...

Window overview
Selecting a preset
To understand the Logical Editor, it might be a good idea to 
start by exploring the included presets. These are found on 
the Presets pop-up menu at the bottom of the window, to 
the right.
To load a preset, select it from the Presets pop-up menu.
The window will show the settings stored in the preset. As the preset is 
not applied to the MIDI events yet, you can load different presets just to 
study them...

You can also set up filter conditions by dragging MIDI 
events directly into the upper list.
If the list contains no line entries, a MIDI event dragged into this section will 
form conditions including the state and type of the event. If it contains en-
tries, the dragged event(s) will initialize the matching parameters. E.g. if a 
length condition is used, the length will be set according to the event 
length.
