Chapter 4: Editing Sequence

move to the previous or next step within the active track.

(It is also possible to change the function of the [<] and

[>] keys to search forward or backward to the next event

within the track. This option is selected in the Step Edit

Options screen.)

3. You can now edit any of the data fields for any of the

displayed events by moving the cursor to the desired field

and 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),

just as if the sequence had been played at that position only. 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/Effects 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

1 2 ... 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 ... 275 276
