What it does

The MIDI tool allows you to edit the values of any MIDI continuous data (controllers, wheels, and so on). In this dialog box, you specify the controller whose data you want to edit.

• Controller ___. [Controller drop-down menu] In this text box you can specify a controller by entering its number, or use the drop-down list to see a list of standard controller messages with a brief description. Here are some common controllers and their numbers:

Controller number	Controller	Controller number	Controller
1	Modulation wheel or lever	64	Sustain pedal
2	Breath Controller	65	Portamento
4	Foot Controller	66	Sostenuto
7	Main volume	67	Soft Pedal
10	Pan

• Patch Changes • Channel Pressure • Pitch Wheel. Select the data you want to view and edit. When you click OK, you’ll be able to edit the specified data type. For instructions on editing these data types, see MIDI Tool window.

• Listen. If you’re not sure of the number or name of the MIDI controller type whose data you want to edit, click Listen. Finale goes into listening mode until you "play" the controller; it then enters the correct controller number in the text box.
• OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, your controller selections. You return to the MIDI tool split-window or the score.
