10.3.4 EVENT EDIT

Use these jobs to edit or delete specific sequence data on a selected track, or to add measures to or delete measures from the current song.

What The Jobs Do

LOCATION Allows you to edit or delete actions you recorded using the pads

&VALUE and scene buttons. In particular, allows you to (a) edit the location, velocity, and gate time of note events, (b) delete specified pad events (note events, mute events, roll events, and loop restarts), and (c) delete specified scene-recall events from the MASTER track.

NOTE CLEAR Deletes all note events on the selected COMPOSED LOOP or FREE track.

EVENT CLEAR Deletes all occurrences of a selected event type over a selected range on any track.

MEASURES Inserts, deletes, or copies measures. It [mike16]is important to note that when inserting measures you can select the meter (1/2, 2/4, 3/ 4, or 4/4); this feature allows you to build songs with mixed or nonstandard meter.

EVENT EDIT LOCATION & VALUE

Use to: Use this job to (a) edit or delete note events recorded on a COMPOSED LOOP or FREE track, or (b) delete one or more instances of any selected pad event from any track, or (c) delete one or more scene-recall events from the MASTER track.

You can use this job for two general purposes: (a) to edit the start location, velocity, and duration (gate time) of note events recorded on your COMPOSED LOOP and FREE tracks, or (b) to delete selected pad or scene events from your song.

When editing note events, you can view and adjust the following values.

Start Location: Location at which note starts (location of the Note-On event). The location is denoted by three separate values: measure-

 

beat—clockcounts (where there are 480 clock counts per

 

beat). You can move the note any distance up to the start of

 

the next note or back to the end of the previous note.

Velocity:

Sets the note’s velocity (loudness). The value can be set from

 

000 to 127.

Gate Time:

Sets the notes duration (the time between the note’s Note On

 

and Note Off event). The duration is set by beats and clock

 

counts, where there are 480 counts per beat. You can increase

 

the duration an arbitrary amount, provided that Note Off oc-

 

curs at least one frame prior to the Note On for the next note.
