Chapter 4: Editing Sequences

Page 85

The STEP EDIT Key

The Step Edit feature allows the contents of the active track to be edited

in precise detail. When the Step Edit key is pressed, any notes or events

that exist in the active track at the current sequence position are

displayed on the screen as a series of data fields, which can then be

edited. Also, any notes played at this time are recorded into the active

track at the current sequence position.

To enter step edit mode, press the STEP EDIT key. The following screen

will appear, displaying any notes or events that exist in the active track at

the current sequence position:

============== Step Edit ==============A

>N:64/A01-Sound_na V:127 Tun:-120 D: 96

Program_change Val:127

Pitch_bend Val:+ 0

Channel_pressure Val:127

Control:C1-MODULATION_WHEEL Val:127

===== Now:001.01.00 (00:00:00:00) ======

A description of the fields and soft keys follows:

• The event display area (lines 2 through 6 of the LCD screen).

This area of the screen displays up to five events, one per line, that exist

in the active track at the sequence location displayed in the Now field.

These events are most commonly notes (either drum or keyboard notes,

depending on whether the active track is a Drum track or a MIDI track),

but they can also be one of a number of special MIDI message types.

The format of each of the various event types is described in detail later

in this chapter, in the “Step Edit Event Types” section. The event

positioned at the uppermost line (preceded by the >) is called the active

event. It is the only event whose fields can be edited by the cursor.

• The Now field:

The field shows the current position within the sequence. As in the

Play/Record screen, this value is changed by using the REWIND, FAST

FORWARD, and LOCATE keys. As this value changes, the event display

area is continually updated to display the events contained at the newly-

displayed location.
