    							CUBASE SX/SLBasic Methods 6 – 81
    The Edit History dialog allows you to undo or redo several actions in 
    one go, by moving the divider between the Undo stack and the Redo 
    stack (in essence, moving actions from the Undo stack to the Redo 
    stack, or vice versa):
    1.Click on the divider line and drag it up or down.
    Drag up to redo actions, drag down to undo them.
    In this case, three more actions will be undone (and moved to the Redo stack).
    •You can also click directly between two items in the list, instantly mov-
    ing the divider line.
    •When you move the divider line by dragging or clicking, the actions 
    are immediately undone or redone.
    The changes are reflected in all open Cubase SX/SL windows.
    2.When you’re finished, click OK to close the dialog.
    The Undo and Redo stacks are cleared when you close a project.

    The main windows in Cubase SX/SL
    The Project window
    The Project window is the main window in Cubase SX/SL. This pro-
    vides you with a graphic overview of the project, allowing you to navi-
    gate and perform large scale editing. The Project window is divided 
    vertically into tracks and has a time line going from left to right. Each 
    project has one Project window.
    The Track list with 
    various track types.The project cursor.
    The area with various 
    track settings to the left 
    is called the Inspector.The area to the right in the Project win-
    dow is called the event display. This is 
    where you view and edit audio and 
    MIDI events, automation curves, etc.

    The Project Browser
    The Project Browser provides a list based representation of the project. 
    This allows you to view and edit all events on all tracks by using regular 
    value editing in a list.
    The Transport panel
    The Transport panel features transport controls, much like those found 
    on a conventional tape recorder. It can also be used for locating Marker 
    positions, setting tempo and time signature, etc.
    •Note that you can customize the appearance of the Transport panel!
    You can remove controls that you don’t need to use or even change the positions of 
    the different sections on the panel. This is described in the Customizing chapter in the 
    Operation Manual.

    The Pool
    All files, audio or video, that belong to a project are listed in the Pool. 
    There is a separate Pool for every project. In the Pool you can organize, 
    convert and audition clips, amongst many other things.

    The Sample Editor
    In the Sample Editor you can view and manipulate audio, by cutting 
    and pasting, removing or drawing audio data. By using the Offline Pro-
    cess History, you can undo changes or revert to the original versions 
    at any point.

    The MIDI editors
    Editing MIDI data is done using the MIDI editors. The following editors 
    are available:
    Key Editor
    The Key Editor shows the contents of one or several MIDI parts. The 
    MIDI notes are represented by “boxes”, whose vertical position corre-
    sponds to their pitch.
    This box represents a MIDI note.
    This section is called the controller display. It shows “continuous” MIDI 
    events (such as controllers) or as in this figure, the velocity values of notes.

    In-Place editing
    The In-Place editing function allows you to edit events and parts directly 
    in the Project window, in context with other tracks. It is very similar to 
    the Key editor.
    Score Editor
    The Score Editor shows MIDI notes as a musical score. 
    • Cubase SL comes with a basic Score Editor – this is described in the Oper-
    ation Manual. 
    • Cubase SX comes with a full Score Editor, with advanced tools and functions 
    for notation, layout and printing. This is described in the separate pdf document 
    “Score Layout and Printing”.

    List Editor
    The List Editor shows MIDI events as a list, allowing you to view and 
    edit their properties numerically.
    Drum Editor
    The Drum Editor is similar to the Key Editor, but takes advantage of 
    the fact that with drum parts, each key corresponds to a separate 
    drum sound.
