Using Hyper Draw in the Piano Roll Editor

You can directly create and edit MIDI controller information in the Piano Roll Editor. These types of edits are made easier when you can see the notes that will be affected.

To view and create controller events

  1. Open a Hyper Draw display in the Piano Roll Editor by doing one of the following:

    • Choose a View > Hyper Draw command.

    • Click the Hyper Draw button at the lower-left corner of the Piano Roll Editor, then choose a MIDI controller by clicking the arrow button to the left.
