Introduction

Annotation Filters

Once MIDI annotations have been added in the Sonogram window, they can be converted into surface filters.

Conversion

Use Annotations as Filters

The Processing/Use Annotations as Filters menu item should be checked in order to activate the MIDI annotations to filter conversion.

Default Mode of MIDI Annotations

By default, MIDI Annotations are on Gain mode, which has actually no effect on the filter. To activate the annotation as a filter, choose either the Pass or the Reject mode.

Gain Edition

Unlike surface filters, the gain value of annotation cannot be set modified.

  • The Gain Edition dialogue window, which opens with a double click on the annoation or on the corresponding block in the Processing Sequencer, has no effect on the filter either.

  • If you Ctrl click on the annotation, a completely different option will be offered to you with the Mute Selected Annotation pop up menu will open – see below.

Filtering Modes

Pass and Reject Filtering Modes
  • Pass : the filtered components only wll be played.

  • Reject : other components will be played.

Invert

The Invert menu item is not activated with annotation filters.

Muting Selected Annotations

As a surface filter, an annotation can be muted or unmuted. There are several way to mute or unmute an annotation :

  • Check or uncheck the Mute option in the Inspector

  • Ctrl click on the selected annotation(s) and select Mute-Unmute Selected Annotations in the contextual menu. The Inspector window will be updated automatically.

You can possibly use the Mute button of the corresponding track in the Processing Sequencer.

Processing

Annotation filters are processed like surface filters. Select Processing/Process Treatments, choose a name and location for the resulting file.
