Key Editor Inspector
In a MIDI editor, the Inspector is located left of the note display. The Inspector contains tools and functions for working with MIDI data.
- Expression Map (Cubase Pro only)
Allows you to load an expression map. Expression maps are useful for working with articulations.
- Note Expression (Cubase Pro only)
Contains functions and settings related to Note Expression.
- Chord Editing
Allows you to enter chords instead of single notes.
- Quantize
Allows you to access the main quantize parameters. These are identical with the functions on the Quantize panel.
- Transpose
Allows you to access the main parameters for transposing MIDI events.
- Length
-
Contains length-related options, similar to the Functions submenu of the MIDI menu.
-
To change the length of the selected MIDI events or all events of the active part if no events are selected, use the Scale Length/Scale Legato slider.
At the maximum value, the notes reach the beginning of the next note.
-
To make the new length settings permanent, click Freeze MIDI Lengths to the right of the Scale Length/Scale Legato slider.
-
To fine-tune the distance between consecutive notes, use the Overlap slider.
At 0 Ticks, the Scale Length/Scale Legato slider extends each note so that it reaches the next note exactly. Positive values cause the notes to overlap and negative values allow you to define a small gap between the notes.
-
To use the Legato function or slider to extend a note until the next selected note, activate Between Selected.
This is identical with activating the Legato Mode: Between Selected Notes Only option in the Preferences dialog.
-
- Setup
-
Allows you to open a dialog to edit the Inspector settings for the editor. Click Setup Inspector, and from the pop-up menu, select Setup.
These sections are also featured by the Inspector for the editor in the lower zone.
