Changing Event Values

Events can be altered individually or as a group. When adjusted as a group, the absolute
differences between the event values remain constant.

To alter individual event values

µ

Grab the event beam (with the Pointer or Pencil tool), and drag vertically.

The current value is shown in a help tag as you drag.

To alter several contiguous event values

µ

Drag across the events with the Pointer tool.

The current value is shown in a help tag as you drag across each event.

To alter the values of multiple events

1

Use any selection technique to select the events you want to edit.

2

Grab one of the grouped (and highlighted) beams, and drag vertically.

The values of all events are adjusted. If any of the beams in the group reaches the
maximum or minimum value, you can’t go any farther in that direction.

To adjust event values when one grouped event has reached an extreme value

µ

If you hold Option while doing so, you can keep raising or lowering the values of all events
in the group, until the grabbed event beam reaches the maximum or minimum value.

Moving and Copying Events

Events can be moved or copied to other positions in the same, or other, lanes. When
moved or copied between lanes, the event values are retained, but are converted to the
target event definition. For example, moving several events from the Volume lane into
the Pan lane results in the volume values being used for pan position changes.

To move selected events

µ

Hold Shift, and drag to the new position and lane.

As you do so, a help tag informs you of the position, event definition type, and value (if
applicable).

To copy selected events

µ

Hold Option, and drag to the new position and lane.
