Chapter 4: Editing Sequences
Page 87
editing it. Also, any notes played from the pads or external
MIDI keyboard at this time will be recorded into this location
and immediately displayed on the screen.
4. To view other locations within the sequence, use the
REWIND, FAST FORWARD, and LOCATE keys.
5. Once you’re finished editing, press MAIN SCREEN to return
to the Play/Record screen.
Of the five on-screen events, only the uppermost line can be edited. It is
edited by moving the cursor to the desired field within the line and editing
the field contents. This uppermost line is called the active event, and is
preceded by a >. To edit an event, it must be moved up to the active
event line using the CURSOR UP and CURSOR DOWN keys.
Use the [<] or [>] key to move to the previous or next step within the
active track, and the [<<] or [>>] key to move to the previous or next bar
boundary.
As you move through the sequence, any events in the active track at that
position will be displayed on the screen, and any events (on all tracks) at
the current position will be played (output through MIDI). If you don’t
want to hear a particular track, turn that track OFF in the Play/Record
screen; if you want to hear only the active track, turn solo mode to ON in
the Play/Record screen. To edit any of the fields in the active event
(uppermost line), move the cursor left or right to the desired field and
change the contents as desired. If there are multiple events at that step,
they will be displayed on the other on-screen event lines. Use the
CURSOR UP or CURSOR DOWN keys to access different events by
scrolling the screen’s five-line window UP or DOWN, thereby moving
higher- or lower-numbered events to the active event line.
COMMENT: All mid-sequence control messages, including the
128 Controllers, Pitch Bend, Program Change, Mixer Volume,
Mixer Pan, and Individual Out/Echo Send Level, only take effect
after being played in a sequence. This means that if you play a
section of a sequence that contains a specific controller event,
the last played value of that controller will remain active until
another occurrence of the same controller is played—even if you
stop the sequence and start playing it from another location.
Because of this, whenever you use one of these events within a
sequence, it is important to insert another event of the same type
at the beginning of the sequence to set the controller to an initial
value.
Step Edit Event Types
The Step Edit screen can display up to five events, one on each line, that
exist in the active track at the current Now field position. The format of
the event line is different for each type of event. The following is a
description of each event type:
• The Drum Note event
