Editing Part 2. OK let's move on and actually get into editing some of these. So double-click here and open up our Editor and start penciling in some notes and discuss a little bit of the way we can go about editing this. So if I go in towards the middle of this with the Pencil Tool in the middle of this note I can move the note around and again allowing me to hear this is having that on so now I won't hear what's going on there. If I go to the end of a note then I get my Trimmer, so I'm trimming the length of the note or the start of a note. We've seen with Regions if I hold down my Option Key when I've got the Trimmer it changes the direction. In this case remember Option another function of that is to actually remove so what we get is the Pencil and the Pencil turns upside to give us the Eraser. So I'm actually erasing the note. So Pencil can be really handy, we can do a lot of things with it, move it around depending on where we are at with it. So if I go to the Trimmer and I hold down Option then I get the function that we had before so now I'm actually changing the direction. So I need to be specific on the Tool that I'm using, but the Pencil is trying to be a little bit more multi-functional. So as I move this around what I'm going to do is hold down Option and now what I'm doing is just duplicating, there's another function of Option. OK so if I go and select one of my MIDI Notes what I'm doing is just holding down the Mouse as I select across all of these MIDI Notes. If I just hold down the Command Key I'm going to click away for right now, hold down the Command Key, what I'm doing is selecting all of the notes in one line. So that's the normal function of Command. If I hold down Shift, let me clear my selection by just clicking out. If I hold down Shift I'm going to click the first note and then hold down Shift, I select everything in between and that allows me to move everything where I'd like in time. Moving down to my Lanes here if I click my Plus I can change what different values that I'm working with. I can go into more controllers if I am using this to control something else on my Sustain Foot Control and show Multiple Controller Lanes with my Pencil Tool I can choose different choose different forms. So if want to go to the Line Tool and I'd like to change all my Velocities what I can do is now I can build up on this part and we're just viewing one part again hearing two. Let me go and solo this and if I Command Click so I'm solo safe you let me just click on this On Command Click. If I Solo now I'm not going to hear anything because I've actually muted my Auxiliary Track. So if I never want that to be muted, Command Click and Solo Saved and now we can hear our parts with our Velocity changes. Its going to build up. So very nice, you can do a lot of things in here. If I want to go to my Triangle I can also draw things into the grid based on what my settings are and again these are independent of each other. There's a lot of nice functions that we can do as we go through and select our MIDI, have our Editors follow each other so when I play on the keyboard these actually follow what its assigned to right now, this would be one and the same. But if I have different things selected I can have both of these linked to each other so now as I make my selection based on what my preference is both of these are going to move together. So that can assist us in editing, just quickly hearing the tracks, so the first selected MIDI Track and since these are linked that's going to automatically select that for me to play on the keyboard. So that can be pretty handy. So hopefully that gives you an idea of some of the things that you can do in Multiple MIDI Editors, we'll discuss in other movies working with the score in a little bit of detail.
