Edit a MIDI clip with the List EditorClosed

The List Editor tab is a plug-in that you can use to perform detailed filtering and editing within the Clip Properties window for a MIDI track.

Events within the MIDI file for the selected track are displayed in a table. Each event occupies one row, and the rows are sorted in chronological order. The columns in the List Editor tab display the contents of the events.

Create envelopes from controller data from a MIDI clipClosed

If you use MIDI clips that contain MIDI controller data, the controller data will not be displayed in the timeline by default.

Right-click the event on the timeline and choose Create Envelopes from Clip from the shortcut menu to represent MIDI controllers as envelopes on the timeline.

NOTE The Create Envelopes from Clip command is not available in inline MIDI editing mode.

TIP When Lock Envelopes to Events is selected from the Options menu, envelope points will move with an event as you move it along the timeline. When Lock Envelopes to Events is not selected, you can move events and envelopes independently.
