444 Chapter 13 Event List
Flexible Relative Value Alteration
If you want to continue altering a parameter value in a multiple selection (even if one
of the values in the selection has reached its maximum or minimum value), hold down
Option while moving the mouse, or press Return to confirm a numerical input.
Absolute Value Alteration
If you want to set a parameter to the same value for all selected events, hold down
Shift-Option, while using the mouse as a slider, or press Return to confirm a numerical
input.
Numerical Value Input
If you want to directly input a number, double-click the relevant parameter.
There are a few special points concerning numerical editing of events in the Event List:
• When entering event time positions and lengths, press Tab to jump from part to part
within the value you’re entering.
• New events can be created by using the ASCII keyboard. When you’re numerically
editing events, you can duplicate them by simply pressing Esc.
• The Duplicate Event and Numerical Edit key command also allows you to create new
events.
Muting
The Event List features a Mute tool, allowing you to mute specific notes in a MIDI
Region.
Clicking on a note with the Mute tool will mute/un-mute it. Muted notes appear
grayed out.
The Edit > Select Muted Regions/Events command is available in the Event List. It allows
the selection of all muted notes in a MIDI Region.
Event List Structure
… on the Event Level
The individual columns in the list have the following meanings:
Position
The position of events in the song; for note events this means the beginning of the
note. The units represent bars, beats, divisions, and ticks (see “Position Display” on
page 89).
Counting begins at 1 for each unit (first bar, first beat, first division, first tick: 1 1 1 1),
and continues until it is carried over to the next largest unit.
