Set Random Values between
This will set the Action Target value to a random value within the range 
specified with Parameter 1 and 2.
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...

Use Value 2
This is only available when Action Target is set to Value 1. If this op-
tion is selected, the Value 2 setting in each event will be copied to the 
Value 1 setting.
For example, this would be useful if you are transforming all Modulation 
controllers to Aftertouch events (since controllers use Value 2 for their 
amount, while Aftertouch uses Value 1 – see the table on page 220).
Use Value 1
This is only available when Action...

Relative Change in Loop Range
As with the previous option, this will create a ramp of values, affecting 
events in the cycle loop range only. However, here the changes are 
“relative”, meaning that values will be added to the existing values.
In other words, you set up a value ramp starting at Parameter 1 and 
ending at Parameter 2 (note that the Parameter values can be nega-
tive). The resulting value ramp is then added to the existing...

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 contains 
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 you to...

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...

The two modes
The Mode pop-up menu contains two options: Filter and Transform.
•In Filter mode, only the filter conditions (the upper list) are taken into 
account. All events matching the conditions set up will be filtered out 
(excluded from the recording).
•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

• Closing the Input Transformer window does not turn it off – you need to 
deactivate all Active Module checkboxes for this!
A lit Input Transformer button in the Inspector indicates that one or more modules are 
active.

Working with System Exclusive

NUENDO6 – 240 Working with System Exclusive messages
Introduction
System Exclusive (SysEx) is a special type of MIDI message used to 
send things that only make sense to a unit of a certain make and type. 
Every major MIDI manufacturer has its own SysEx identity code. Sys-
tem Exclusive messages are typically used for transmitting patch data, 
i.e. the numbers that make up the settings of one or more sounds in a 
MIDI instrument.
Nuendo allows you to record and manipulate System Exclusive data in...
