Ableton/Live/UG/10 Editing MIDI/01 The MIDI Note Editor Layout
- Open the Clip View on a MIDI clip and choose the Notes tab; the other tabs are the Envelopes Editor and the MPE Editor (Ableton/Live/UG/12 Editing MPE).
- Notes go in the grid. The time ruler runs across the top; the note ruler down the side shows C-2 to C8, a tuning system's pitches, or a Drum Rack's pads, beside a piano ruler.
- The header's left side has folding, scale highlighting and the Find and Select Notes toggle; its right side shows and sets the grid.
- The Preview switch above the piano ruler sounds a pitch or pad when you click a key or add or move a note.
- Below the editor are the Velocity and Chance lanes. The Lane Selector menu shows either or both, the toggle beside it shows or hides all, and Swap Lane in a lane's context menu switches which one a lane shows. Drag the divider or split lines, or
Option-scroll (Mac) / Alt-scroll (Win), to resize them.
