What it does

This dialog box’s wording changes to reflect your MIDI data type selection (key velocities, note durations, continuous data, or tempo). Its function is to allow you to set the values of the selected MIDI data type to a specified value. For example, if you’ve selected Key Velocities, you can specify that all notes in the selected region should be played back with the same volume by setting their velocity values to a single MIDI velocity value. (MIDI velocity is measured on a scale of zero, silent, to 127, very loud.)

Set Tempo to ____. The number in these text boxes represent the number of beats per minute (main beat as specified by the time signature).
OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the MIDI data changes you’ve specified. You return to the MIDI tool split-window (or the score).
