Drawing MIDI events

Go to the Track Window, set Draw Event to the event type you wish to create and then choose Draw as mouse mode. Enter the maximum zoom level via the Maximum Zoom & Focus push button in the toolbar at the top of the Arrange Window (not required, but recommended). Create an empty part to receive the new data, if necessary. To enter single events, use the mouse as a pen and left-click into the part with the mouse. The extact position of the created events is again dependent on to the snap value settings (if set to Bar events will always be inserted at the start of the previous bar etc.)

To enter continuous controller changes, click & drag with the mouse from the start point to the stop point before you release the mouse button. A straight line of control data will appear (and controller data already present inside the range covered by the line will eventually have disappeared, since it has been overwritten).

If you want to reduce the amount of control data generated use larger snap values, e.g. when snap value is 1/16, control data will be inserted only at every 1/16 beat etc. To create more complex controller movements just draw more lines, until you arrive at the desired shape.

If you want smoother transitions between different value levels, switch to Smooth mode to draw a selection box across the drawn events and watch their shape turn from "edgy" to "curvy".

Finally you may use the Erase mode to delete events of the specified type inside a certain range.
