The Logical Editor, Transformer and Input Transformer
If you select one of the Bar Range options in the Condi-
tion column, the Bar Range column will show a graphic 
bar display. You specify the range within the bar by click-
ing and dragging in the bar display (the specified Bar 
Range is indicated in blue).
The Logical Editor will then find all events starting inside or outside this 
Bar Range, in all bars (within the current selection).
Here, the Logical Editor will find events starting around the...

Searching for controllers
There is similar extended functionality when searching for 
controllers: If you’ve added an additional “Type = Control-
ler” condition line, the Logical Editor will “know” you are 
searching for controllers. The Parameter 1 column will 
then show the names of the MIDI controllers (Modulation, 
Volume, etc.) when Value 1 is selected as Filter Target.
Searching for MIDI channels
Each MIDI event contains a MIDI channel...

In this example, the action will be performed when the 
note C1 is pressed (the “Note is playing” condition is only 
available in the Input Transformer and in the Transformer 
effect):
In this example, the action will be performed after playing 
the C1 note:
Combining multiple condition lines

ÖExpressions within brackets are evaluated first.
If there are several layers of brackets, these are evaluated “from the in-
side out”, starting with the innermost brackets.
You add brackets by clicking in the bracket columns and 
selecting an option. Up to triple brackets can be selected.
Editing filter conditions as text
The area directly below the filter condition list shows you 
the current filter conditions as text. It also allows you to...

Specifying actions
The lower list in the Logical Editor window is the action 
list. This is where you specify any changes that should be 
made to the found events (relevant for all function types 
except Delete and Select).
The handling of the action list is similar to the filter condi-
tion list, but without the brackets and booleans. You sim-
ply add lines by clicking the Add Line button to the right, 
and fill out the columns as required. To...

Set Relative Random Values between
This will add a random value to the current Action Target 
value. The added random value will be within the range 
specified with Parameter 1 and 2. Note that these can be 
set to negative values.
For example, if you set Parameter 1 to -20 and Parameter 
2 to +20, the original Action Target value will get a ran-
dom variation, never exceeding ±20.
Set to fixed value
This sets the Action Target to the value...

Applying the defined actions
Once you have set up filter conditions, selected a function 
and set the required actions (or loaded a preset), you ap-
ply the actions defined with the Logical Editor by clicking 
the Do It button.
Logical Editor operations can be undone just like any 
other editing.
ÖAgain, when using the Transformer MIDI effect there is 
no Do It button. The processing is applied to the events 
played back from the track (or played...

The Input Transformer is really four separate transformers, 
or modules.
You select which module to view and make settings for 
by clicking its button in the Selected Module section.
Module 2 selected for viewing and editing.
The checkboxes in the Active Module section determine 
which module(s) are active.
Here, modules 1, 2 and 4 are active.

The Project Logical Editor
Introduction
On the Edit menu you will find the function “Project Logi-
cal Editor…” that opens a Project Logical Editor for the 
entire project. It works similar to the Logical Editor on the 
MIDI menu, see “The Logical Editor, Transformer and In-
put Transformer” on page 367. The most important differ-
ence is that the Logical Editor for MIDI works at the event 
level, whereas the Project Logical Editor works at the 
project level and is therefore a very powerful tool for...
