Hi All,

 

I tried to find a way to insert midi events e.g. midi control codes in to a track but nothing seems to work. Is it possible to do that using the querty keyboard? And if so, can some body show me how?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Tom.

Hi Tom,

The MIDI Event List includes a pop-up menu to insert events at insertion. Unfortunately, the line where the new event is composed is not visible to VoiceOver. It's currently a registered bug with Avid but hasn't been fixed yet. Fortunately, you can still enter the information but you'll be flying in the dark for a bunch of keystrokes. Further, however, the MIDI Event List is currently broken so you won't really be able to delete events, etc. for what it's worth, after you've chosen to insert a CC event, the insertion time is automatically listed in the compose row with the first field highlighted. Let's say it's bars and beats. The bar field is highlighted. Pressing Tab will highlight the beats field. Pressing Tab again highlights the ticks field. The next Tab press will put you in the CC number field. Let's say it's expression. You can type 11 then press Tab to get to the CC value field. Enter the value and press Enter. That's when the event you created will appear in the readable portion of the table. If you're doing pedal values, you can either type 0 and 127 or On and Off alternatively.
HTH,
Slau

Hi Slau,

 

Thank you very much for your answer.

I tried it yesterday but it didn’t work.

But tomorrow i got a brain wave <smile>. In stead of the tab key i tried the arrow keys and that did the trick.

 

Tom.

Hi Tom,

It's been a long time since I've manually added CC messages so my recollection was hazy. Indeed, the left/right arrow keys will move the focus through the varius fields. Glad it's working.

Hi Slau,

Indeed, I was up early :) Oddly, during this time of isolation, I happen to be somewhat busier than usual. Cheers,
Slau
