Visibility Tab

The Key Editor and the Drum Editor feature a Visibility tab that allows you to show/hide supported track types, such as MIDI tracks, instrument tracks, sampler tracks, and folder tracks, and to make their parts available in the editor display.

To show the Visibility tab, do one of the following:

  • Open the Key Editor or the Drum Editor in the lower zone. At the top of the left zone, click Visibility. At the bottom of the left zone, click Editor.

  • Open the Key Editor or the Drum Editor in a separate window. On the toolbar, click Show/Hide Editor Visibility .

  • Open the Key Editor or the Drum Editor in a separate window. On the toolbar, click Set up Window Layout, and activate Visibility.

Note

Any visibility changes in the editor only affect the visibility in the editor itself and not the track visibility in the Project window.

The following options are available:

  1. Keep Editor Contents (Don’t follow Project window event selection)

    Activate this if you do not want the editor event display to be updated when you select events or hide tracks in the Project window.

  2. Track Display Settings

    Allows you to show/hide the parts of the tracks displayed at the top of the editor event display. You can choose to show only the parts of the track that you have activated via the Visibility or all visible tracks.

    Note

    This is only available if you open the Key Editor or the Drum Editor in a separate window.

  3. Track Visibility Configurations

    Allows you to apply track visibility configurations that you created in the Project window from within the Visibility tab in the editor. To create or modify a configuration, you must use the Track Visibility Configurations in the Project window toolbar.

  4. Set Track Visibility Agents

    Allows you to set a track visibility agent to filter the tracks.

  5. Find Tracks

    Opens a selector that allows you to search for specific tracks. If you select a track via the selector, it is shown, activated, and selected in the Visibility tab. The corresponding parts are added to the editor event display and activated for editing.

  6. Track Display

    If you activate Show Tracks on the Track Display Settings, a track display with MIDI parts is shown above the event display.

    Note

    The track display is only available if you open the Key Editor or the Drum Editor in a separate window.

  7. Event Display

    Contains a grid in which MIDI events are displayed as boxes.

  8. Select track

    • Clicking a track whose parts are hidden selects the track.

    • Clicking a track whose parts are shown in the event display selects the track and activates it for editing.

    The track selection in the Project window follows.

  9. Show/Hide track

    Clicking to the left of the track name shows/hides all parts of a track in the editor event display. Showing a track automatically activates it.

  10. Activate track for editing

    • Clicking the track name activates that track for editing, and shows its MIDI events/parts in the event display.

    • Double-clicking a track activates it for editing and hides all other tracks.

    Note

    Separate window only: If you activate Show Tracks in the Track Display Settings pane, the track that is activated for editing is highlighted in the track display at the top of the editor event display.
