Inserting continuously-variable events
Here’s how to insert continuously-variable events (such as control changes) into the
desired track. You can insert a series of continuously-variable events by specifying the
desired values for the starting and ending locations.
1. Select the sequence/track into which you want to insert events.
2. Move the cursor to the View field, and turn the [JOG] dial to make the graphic
editor show the continuously-variable event you want to insert.
If you select control change or polyphonic key pressure, use the right part of the View field
to select the control change number or note number that you want to see.
3. Move the cursor to the graphic editor, and select the region into which you
want to insert events.
When the cursor is located in the graphic editor, you can specify a region by holding down
the [SHIFT] key and using the CURSOR[
]/[
®
]/[
π
]/[
] keys to extend the selection.
4. Press the [OVER DUB] key.
You will now be able to perform step-recording, and the function assigned to the [F6] key
will change to INSERT.
5. Press the [F6] key (INSERT).
The Insert Event popup window will appear. The fields that are displayed will depend on
the event you selected in step 2.
