Remove selected events Remove all currently selected events. |
![]() |
Align left Makes all selected events start at the same time. This time is equal to the start time of the leftmost selected event. |
![]() |
Align right Makes all selected events end at the same time. This time is equal to the end time of the rightmost selected event. |
![]() |
Equalize Makes all selected events have the same duration as well as the same start and end times. The new duration is equal to the average duration of the selected events. |
![]() |
Quantify selection Quantifies all selected events. After quantization, the events will have exact notelengths (quarters, 8ths etc.). Also their timing inside the measure will be exact. The smallest fraction (i.e. the smallest duration of the notes) can be specified using the menu "Quantization fractions" (see below). Click here for details |
|
Quantization fractions Set the smallest note duration for the quantization. Click here for details |
|
|
Quantify tuplet... As tuplets cannot be quantified with the above explained tools, select the notes which belong to the tuplet and click "Quantify tuplet...". A dialog will popup which lets you enter details for the tuplet quantization. Click here for details |
|
|
Repeat tuplet quantization Select the notes belonging to a tuplet. Click this menu item in order to quantify the tuplet with the last entered properties (using the menu item above). Click here for details |
|
|
Add track Adds a new, empty track to the Midi file. Click here for details |

|
Remove events from channel... Removes all events which are currently assigned to a specified channel.Click here for details |
|
|
Move events to channel... Assigns all selected events to the specified channel. Click here for details |
|
|
Move events to track... Assigns all selected events to the specified track. Click here for details |
|
|
Transpose selection... Transposes selected events up or down, based on semitone numbers entered by the user in the opening dialog. |
|
|
Set file duration Set the song's duration in milliseconds. If the entered duration is smaller then the current duration, everything beyond the new end of the file will be removed. |
|
|
Scale events Scales the timing of all selected events. |
|
![]() |
Magnet Enables or disables the magnet. The magnet can be used to align moved, scaled, or newly created events to the specified raster. Click here for details |

Fix X|V Channels One-click deterministic FFXIV channel fixer. Choose between Rebuild (full reassignment) or Preserve (minimal changes) mode. Shows a rich result summary with channel mapping table, program change statistics, and track renames. The entire operation is wrapped in a single undo action. Click here for details |
![]() |
FFXIV SoundFont Mode toggle Toolbar button that turns FFXIV SoundFont Mode on or off in a single click, mirroring the checkbox under MIDI Settings → FluidSynth → FFXIV SoundFont Mode. Shows |

Split Channels to Tracks Splits a single-track multi-channel MIDI file into one track per channel. Automatically names tracks from GM Program Change events (e.g. "Acoustic Piano", "Drums"). Configurable options for drum handling, source track removal, and track insertion position. The entire operation is wrapped in a single undo action. Click here for details |
![]() |
Explode Chords to Tracks Splits polyphonic chords into separate monophonic tracks - one note per voice. Useful for preparing FFXIV ensemble arrangements where each instrument must play a single note at a time. |
![]() |
Copy events to track… / Copy events to channel… Duplicates the current selection 1:1 onto another track or channel (0-15) while leaving the originals in place. The new copies become the active selection so an immediate Octave Up or velocity edit only affects the duplicates. NoteOn/Off pairing is preserved; the whole action is a single undo step. Disabled when the selection is empty. Available from the matrix right-click menu as well. - full reference. |
![]() |
Tempo Tools → Convert Tempo, Preserve Duration… Time-preserving tempo conversion. Enter source / target BPM and a scope (whole file, events only, per channel, or selected events) and every event tick is rescaled by target/source while
the tempo meta is rewritten in one atomic, undoable operation. A 90 BPM vocal lined up against
a 180 BPM project keeps the same real-time playback speed. Also available from the
channel/track right-click menu. -
dedicated reference page.

FFXIV Voice Limiter / Analyze Voice Load Read-only audit of simultaneous voices against the in-game 16-voice ceiling. Surfaces a per-tick voice peak, overflow ranges (where simultaneous voices > 16), and per-channel rate hotspots (passages exceeding 14 notes / sec / channel). Available as a toolbar gauge, an optional voice-load lane under the velocity strip, and the analyze_voice_load AI tool. -
dedicated reference page with thresholds, the analyser engine
and the demo video.

FFXIV SoundFont Equalizer Per-instrument volume mixer for the FFXIV SoundFont. Each row controls one bard preset (Lute, Harp, Piano, Flute, Trumpet, GM Drum Kit, electric guitars, …) with a 0 - 200 % gain slider, mute checkbox, per-row reset, and a ▶ Preview button that plays a short C-D-E-G arpeggio (or kick/snare/hat/crash for the drum kit) so you can audition the change immediately. Includes a global master gain, a curated FFXIV Default preset, and unlimited user presets persisted under FFXIV/equalizerPresets.
Slider edits affect live playback and offline audio export the moment you move them
(GEN_ATTENUATION is pushed to FluidSynth on every mixChanged).
Reachable from the Tools menu and from
Settings → MIDI I/O → FluidSynth → Open FFXIV SoundFont Equalizer…;
both entries auto-enable when FFXIV SoundFont Mode is on. -
dedicated reference.

Edit → Paste Special… When you copy from another MidiEditor AI instance and paste into a different file, Ctrl+V now opens the Paste Special dialog instead of collapsing every event onto the current edit track. Three modes: Create new tracks per source (default), Preserve source track + channel mapping (1:1), and Paste to current edit track + channel (legacy). Track creation is part of the same protocol action so a single Ctrl+Z undoes the paste and the new tracks together. Don’t ask again this session silences the modal for the rest of the session. |
