By combining these tools you can precisely define the selection of notes you want to edit.
Selecting Events/Notes on the Controller
Using your controller you can select particular events from the selected Pattern. This will allow
you to edit them without affecting the other events.
For example in Pad Mode this can be very useful to quickly quantize a few drum instruments in
your kit without affecting the rest of the kit: Press
SHIFT
+
SELECT
+ the pads of the desired
drums then press
SHIFT
+ pad
5
(
QUANTIZE
), and you’re done!
You can select notes and events using the pads. Depending on the current pad mode (Pad
Mode or Keyboard mode, see
6.1.1, The Pad View in the Software
), events will be selected
differently:
▪
In Pad Mode (the default mode of the pads), each pad represents a specific Sound:
◦
Unlit pads indicate Sounds for which the Pattern has no events. Nothing happens
when you press them.
◦
Dimmed pads indicate Sounds for which events can be selected: Press any dimmed
pad to add all events for that Sound to the selection. The pad turns fully lit to indicate
that all its events are selected. You can press any additional dimmed pad to add its
events to the selection. Pressing a dimmed pad additionally switches the focus to the
corresponding Sound.
