When you add a new controller type to a track, the controller type is automatically chosen in the Show/Hide MIDI Events menu, so that you can see it. For help showing and hiding all the other MIDI data you may have in your track or tracks, see Displaying notes and controllers, and Working with multiple tracks in the Piano Roll view.
1. Click the controller lane’s Event Filter and choose New Value Type to open the MIDI Event Type dialog box.
![]()
Type. Choose the type of controller you want to add (for example, choose Control if you want to edit volume).
![]()
Value. This field is grayed-out if you choose Wheel or ChanAft in the Type field. If you choose Control, RPN, or NRPN in the Type field, choose which Control, RPN, or NRPN you want to add. For example, to edit volume, choose 7-Volume in this field if you chose Control in the Type field.
![]()
Channel. Choose a MIDI channel for the controller if you want. If your track has a MIDI channel listed in the Ch field, all MIDI data in your track uses the listed MIDI channel.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box.
