Reference

And here are the events contained in the Master track.

To edit the event Type and Values, select the parameter and use
the TEMPO/VALUE dial to change their value. In case of
numeric values, you can also press them twice to open the
numeric keypad.

Length

Length of the selected Note event. The value format is the same
as the Position value. Edit it in the same way.

Note:

If you change a length of “000.00.000” to a different value,

you can’t go back to the original value. This rather uncommon
zero-length value may be found in the drum and percussion tracks
of Songs made in Backing Sequence mode.

Track

Use this pop-up menu to select the track to edit.

Track 1…16

One of the ordinary tracks of the Song. These
tracks contains musical data, like notes and con-
trollers.

Master

This is a special track, containing Tempo changes,
Meter changes, Scale and Transpose data, and the
effect parameters.

Scrollbar

Use the scrollbar to browse the event through the list. You can
also scroll by using the SHIFT + DIAL combination.

Go/Catch

This is a dual-function command.

• While the sequencer is not running, it works as a Go to Mea-
sure command. Press it to open the Go to Measure dialog box:

When in this dialog box, select a target measure, and press OK.
The first event available in the target measure will be selected.

• While the sequencer is running, it works as a Catch Locator
command. Press it to show the event that is currently playing.

Insert

Press the Insert button in the display to insert a new event at the
current shown Position. The default values are Type = Note,
Pitch = C4, Velocity = 100, Length = 192.

Note:

You can’t insert new events in an empty, non-recorded Song.

To insert an event, you must first insert some empty measures by
using the Insert Measure function (see “Song Edit: Cut/Insert Mea-
sures” on page 194).

in the display.

Note:

The “End of Track” event cannot be deleted.
