Opening the Editor in the Lower Zone

The Editor in the lower zone allows you to perform event editing procedures from within the lower zone of the Project window, and at the same time to see the context of your tracks and events.

About This Task

Note

By default, double-clicking an audio event/part or a MIDI part in the event display or selecting it and pressing Return opens the corresponding editor in the lower zone of the Project window. Using a menu command opens a separate editor window. You can change this in the Preferences dialog (Editors page).

Procedure

  1. Click Show/Hide Lower Zone on the Project window toolbar to activate the lower zone.
  2. At the bottom of the lower zone, click the Editor tab.
  3. In the event display, do one of the following:

    • Select a MIDI part.

    • Select an audio event.

    • Select an audio part.

Result

Depending on your event or part selection the lower zone shows either the Audio Part Editor, the Sample Editor or one of the MIDI Editors.

Note

To change the default MIDI editor, select MIDI > Set up Editor Preferences, and select an option from the Default MIDI Editor pop-up menu.

Note

If you open the editor and no event or part is selected, the editor in the lower zone is empty.
