Section 4:Editing sequences 103
next 1/16 after playing each key. If this field is set to NO, this effect
is defeated.
• The DURATION OF RECORDED NOTES field: This field is
used to determine the method by which durations are assigned to
notes recorded from the midi keyboard while in STEP EDIT
mode. This is a choice field and has 2 options: SAME AS STEP
and AS PLAYED:
1. If set to SAME AS STEP, durations are always four clocks
less than the current step size (the current NOTE VALUE
field setting in the TIMING CORRECT screen).
2. If set to AS PLAYED, the actual time the note is held
(relative to the current tempo) is used for the duration value,
even though the sequence is not playing. To guide your
timing, if a key is held down more than one 1/4 note, a
metronome click plays exactly one 1/4 note after the key is
depressed, and plays again for each additional 1/4 note the
key is held down. For example, if you wanted to record a
note with a duration of one 1/2 note, you would play the key
and release it after 2 clicks were heard.
• The STEP EDIT DISPLAY FILTER section: This is a "filter"
similar to the erase filter or the midi input filter, except this one
controls which types of midi events existing in the track get
displayed in the step edit screen. For example, if the only events you
wanted to edit were pitch bend messages, it would be bothersome to
have to view all the other events. Another example would be to
filter out all continuous controller data to make it easier to view only
the notes.
To use the display filter, move the cursor to the VIEW field. This
is a choice field with 3 options:
1. ALL EVENTS: If this option is selected, all
possible event types will be displayed.
2. ONLY VIEW: If this option is selected, only one event
type may be displayed, and the type of event to be
displayed is selected in a new field appearing directly to
the right on the same line. In this rightmost field, all
event types are listed, including all 128 midi controllers,
each individually named as listed in the "Midi 1.0
Detailed Specification, Document Revision 4.0".
3. ALL EXCEPT: This option is similar to ONLY VIEW,
above, except that all event types except
the event
displayed to the right of the words ALL EXCEPT are
displayed.
