The Auto-Select Controllers feature applies musical “intelligence” to MIDI data recorded into FreeStyle. When this option is checked, pitch bend, volume changes, and other aspects of the musical performance that consist of MIDI controller data in the controller pane are automatically “linked” to the notes that they affect. As a result, you can select move, cut, copy, paste and otherwise edit notes, and the controller data is automatically included with the notes. This means that you don’t have to worry about pitch bend or similar data; FreeStyle takes care of it automatically for you when you edit the notes. The example below shows how the pitch bend in the controller pane is selected when the note is selected.
When the Auto Select Controllers option is turned off, notes and controller data must be selected and edited separately.
