Hello, I'm just looking at one of the S1 demo tracks and I've found some of the audio tracks appear to have midi notes behind the audio. Would someone please explain what I am seeing here and how do I edit this?

Indeed you are seeing MIDI notes behind the audio.
Below that you can see an instrument track Bollywood vox, drag that Piano part you ringed down from the audio track to that instrument track. The MIDI notes will now play the vox instrument. Double click it and you can edit it.
If you go into the browser and find a musical WAV file drag it into a free area of that Piano track, you will not see any MIDI info, however CTRL M to edit that WAV file in Melodyne ... Exit Melodyne you will now see embedded MIDI notes.
Just below you can see you have just a MIDI event. Try dragging that to an audio track.

Its simpler than that. These are just midi tracks that have been transformed into audio. The midi notes note behind the audio are telling you that you can go back.

Right click the track header and select Transform to Instrument track. This track will now revert back to a midi part playing the virtual instrument. You can edit etc. Then you can right click the track header and Transform to audio track again.

There is more than one way to convert midi to audio. Other ways do it more permanently in that the audio wont have the midi notes behind but the midi part will remain on its own track but muted. So that takes up two tracks instead of one. The midi notes behind the audio is a good way of doing it simply because its fast getting back to midi again.

Melodyne does not have to be involved with any of this also.

Thanks for the responses!

I knew it must be something simple like this. For some reason, I was having a hard time figuring out how the revert back to MIDI for editing.
