Chapter 29: MIDI Editing 579
When editing MIDI velocities or continuous
controller data, the Free Hand shape draws
freely according to the movement of the mouse.
The shape is reproduced as a series of steps ac-
cording to the Pencil Tool Resolution When
Drawing Controller Data MIDI preference.
Line
In the Edit window on MIDI and Instrument
tracks in Notes view, in MIDI Editor windows,
and in the Score Editor, the Line shape inserts a
series of MIDI notes on a single pitch whose ve-
locities are defined by the Default Note On Ve-
locity setting. The duration and spacing for the
inserted notes are determined by the current
Grid value and the Default Note Duration set-
ting.
When editing MIDI velocities or continuous
controller data, the Line shape draws in a
straight line from click to release. MIDI contin-
uous controller values change in steps according
to the
Pencil Tool Resolution When Drawing Con-
troller Data
option in the MIDI Preferences page.
Triangle
In the Edit window on MIDI and Instrument
tracks in Notes view, in MIDI Editor windows,
and in the Score Editor, the Triangle shape in-
serts a series of MIDI notes on a single pitch
whose velocities oscillate between the Default
Note On Velocity setting and 127 according to a
triangle pattern. The duration and spacing for
the inserted notes are determined by the current
Grid value and the Default Note Duration set-
ting.
When editing MIDI velocities or continuous
controller data, the Triangle shape draws a trian-
gular pattern that changes direction according
to the current Grid value. MIDI controller values
change in steps according to the
Pencil Tool Res-
olution When Drawing Controller Data
option in
the MIDI Preferences page.
Square
In the Edit window on MIDI and Instrument
tracks in Notes view, in MIDI Editor windows,
and in the Score Editor, the Square shape inserts
a series of MIDI notes on a single pitch whose
velocities alternate between the Default Note
On Velocity setting and 127. The duration and
spacing for the inserted notes are determined by
the current Grid value and the Default Note Du-
ration setting.
When editing MIDI velocities or continuous
controller data, the Square shape draws a square
pattern that repeats at a rate based on the cur-
rent Grid value.
Random
In the Edit window on MIDI and Instrument
tracks in Notes view, in MIDI Editor windows,
and in the Score Editor, the Random shape in-
serts a series of MIDI notes on a single pitch
whose velocities change randomly within the
range between the Default Note On Velocity set-
ting and 127. The duration and spacing for the
inserted notes are determined by the current
Grid value and the Default Note Duration set-
ting.
When editing MIDI velocities or continuous
controller data, the Random shape draws a series
of random values that change at a rate based on
the current Grid value.
