Cell Edit Mode

You can switch this mode on and off manually by clicking the Cell button next to the horizontal scroll bar.

In Cell Edit mode, you get an alternate view of the MIDI events: the individual time positions of a bar are displayed as a series of cells with on/off states. The actual note lengths of the individual events are no longer taken into account, but a uniform display width is used that corresponds to the set quantization grid. Also the swing and offset settings of the quantization options are made clear by cells of different width and by shifting.

Accordingly, notes are not drawn in this mode by clicking and dragging, but by simple clicking.

The cell edit mode is used for a better overview, especially when displaying MIDI drum instruments, and is particularly suitable for editing MIDI objects in the Drum Editor, where mostly short, percussive events occur. The display remains limited to the essential information of note start position and velocity.
