Operation
Grid
The grid defined by the Grid parameter in the Event Definition Parameter box is very
important:
• During selection, all events within a grid section are selected
• When you change the values of existing events, all events within a grid section are
altered, and
• New events are added at the grid positions, in accordance with the value set as the
Delay parameter.
Selection Techniques
You can use any of the usual selection techniques (see “Selection Techniques” on
page 36), with the following differences:
• To select individual events, hold down Shift, as you would when selecting several
events that are scattered across the screen, and;
• When making a rubber band selection, hold down Shift (be careful not to click on
any events).
Moving and Copying Events
When moving selected events, you also need to hold down Shift.
To copy events, use Option as per usual.
Both operations allow you to move events to other event definition lines. The events
will be converted automatically.
Altering Event Values
You can alter individual values by grabbing the event beam (with the pointer or pencil).
As you change the event value, the current value is shown in a help tag.
Altering Several Events
If several events are selected, you can alter all of their values relatively, by grabbing one
of the event beams. The absolute differences between the event values remain
constant. If one of the beams reaches the top or bottom value, you will not be able to
go any further in that direction.
If you hold down Option while doing so, you can keep raising or lowering the values of
the selected event group, until the grabbed event beam reaches the top or bottom.
Setting Up a Manual Series
Existing Events
Draw the events with the mouse pointer, while holding down the mouse button.
Creating New Events
Draw the events with the pencil, while holding down the mouse button. The pencil is
preset as the second tool (Command key).
