Editing MIDI in the Hyper Editor

To delete event definitions:

m

Select the desired event definitions, then choose Hyper > Delete Event Definition (or
use the corresponding key command, default: Control-Backspace).

To reorganize the order of event definition lanes:

m

Grab the name of the event definition you want to move, and drag it (vertically) to the
desired position.

Changing Event Definitions

You use the Event Definition Parameter box in the Inspector to alter the settings of the
selected event definition lane. The most important parameters are Status (and First
Data Byte). All display related parameters are covered in “

Changing the Grid and Beam

Display

” on page 419. Information on all other parameters is found later in this section.

Altering the Event Status

The event status determines the type of event controlled by each event definition lane.
Click-hold the arrows to the right of the Status line, and choose one of the following
from the pop-up menu:

 Fader: To define a fader event lane. Fader event data can be used to control any

possible parameter (except channel volume and pan, which use controllers). Fader
data can also be used to create meta events.

 Meta: To define a meta event lane. Meta events are internal Logic Pro commands

that can perform tasks such as screenset switching.

 Note: If you want to define a lane for a particular note pitch (perfect for drum

programming).

 Control: If you want to define a MIDI controller lane.
 C- Press (Channel Pressure): To define a lane for channel pressure (also known as

aftertouch, a feature of many synthesizers that adds vibrato, for example, when you
press down on MIDI keyboard keys that are already held).
