11: Extract Event

Allows a specified type of event — note, program change, pitch bend, control change, channel aftertouch, polyphonic aftertouch, or exclusive — to be extracted (removed) free a specified range of measures in a specified track. The extracted data can be moved to the same range of measures in any other specified track.

Although you can remove events individually in the edit mode (page 104), the

Extract Event job makes it simple to remove all occurences of the specified event within the specified measure range in one operation. This is particularly convenient when removing slow pitch bends or volume changes that may employ many individual events to create a single effect.

The upper “TR” parameter selects the source track — i.e. the track from

which the event data is to be extracted: “01” ... “16”.

The lower “TR” parameter selects the destination track — i.e. the track to which. the extracted event data is to be moved: “01” ... “16”, or “Off” if you simply want to discard the specified event data.

The “M” parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the first measure:beat and last measure:beat of the range from which the event data is to be extracted.

The event type parameter above the lower graphic bar determines the type of event data to be extracted:

NOTE

Note events. When this event type is selected a note parameter

 

appears at the right end of the bar. The note parameter determines

 

the pitch of the notes to be extracted: “C-2” ... “G8” for individual

 

notes, or “All” for all notes.

 

 

PRGM

Program change events.

 

 

P.BEND

Pitch bend events.

 

 

CTRL

Control change events. When this event type is selected a control

 

change number parameter appears at the end of the bar. The control

 

change parameter determines the MIDI control change number(s)

 

to be extracted: “000” ... “127” for individual control change num-

 

bers, or “All” for all numbers.

 

 

CH A.T

Channel aftertouch events.

 

 

POILY A.T

Polyphonic aftertouch events.

 

 

EXCL

Exclusive events.
