View Filter for MIDI Event List

You can use the View Filter to specify which event types are displayed in the MIDI Event List. This can help you zero in on only the events you want to affect; it also protects MIDI events from being edited or deleted. Events not displayed in the MIDI Event List still play back.

The View Filter can be set to display “all” messages, “only” the specified messages, or “all except” the specified messages.

When inserting an event type that has been filtered from the MIDI Event List, that event type will no longer be filtered.

Example: To filter the display of aftertouch and System Exclusive Messages in the MIDI Event List:

1 In the MIDI Event List, choose View Filter from the MIDI Event List menu.

With the MIDI Event List as the front-most window, press Control+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac) to open the MIDI Event List View Filter dialog.

2 In the MIDI Event List View Filter dialog, select the All Except option.

3 Select the options for Mono Aftertouch, Polyphonic Aftertouch, and System Exclusive. Leave all other messages deselected.

When using the All Except option, the selected events are not displayed. Conversely, when using the Only option, only the selected events are displayed.

4 Click OK.
