tions on this pop-up menu are different depending on the selected 
Action Target. Below, all available operations are listed:
Add

Target.
Subtract
Subtracts the value specified in the Parameter 1 column from the 
Action Target.

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 random variation, never ex-
ceeding ±20.
Set to fixed value
This sets the Action Target to...

Use Value 1
This is only available when Action Target is set to Value 2. If this op-
tion 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” or “flipped” 
around the value set in the Parameter 1 column.
In the case of notes, this will invert the scale, with...

For example, if you apply this to note velocities with Parameter 1 set to 
0 and Parameter 2 set to -100, you create a velocity fade-out, keeping 
the original velocity relations:
Applying the defined actions
Once you have set up filter conditions, selected a function and set the 
required actions (or loaded a preset), you apply the actions defined 
with the Logical Editor by clicking the Do It button.
Logical Editor operations can...

Working with presets
The Presets section in the bottom right section of the window allows 
you to load, store and manage Logical Editor presets. A preset con-
tains all settings in the window, which means you can simply load a 
preset and click Do It.
•To load a preset, select it from the Presets menu.
Storing your own settings as a preset
If you have made Logical Editor settings that you want to use again, 
you can store them as a...

The Input Transformer
This function allows you to selectively filter out and change MIDI data 
coming to a MIDI track before it is recorded. The Input Transformer is 
very similar to the Transformer MIDI effect, but contains four indepen-
dent “modules”, for which you can set up different filtering and actions 
if you like. You can activate any or all of these four modules.
Here are some of the things the Input Transformer allows...

In both cases, the button lights up and the Input Transformer opens.
Handling the four modules
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 mod-
ule(s) are active.
Here, modules 1, 2 and 4 are...

•In Transform mode, events matching the filter conditions will be trans-
formed according to the settings in the action list (the lower list).
Setting up filtering and actions
This is done just like in the Logical Editor. Here is a brief rundown:
•Click the Add Line buttons to add lines to the filter condition list or
