LOCATOR
The LOCATOR tells us
exactly when the event
occurred. This is
represented by three
numbers separated by
spaces.
The first number, in this case 3, tells us which bar the event
occurred in. The next number, also 2, tell us at which beat of
that bar it happened. The last number, a 7, tells us exactly
where, in the first beat of the first bar, the event occurred. It
does this by subdividing each beat into 192 separate parts,
(usually referred to as pulses or ticks). So this event
occurred on the 7th pulse of the second beat of the third bar.
STATUS or EVENT TYPE
The STATUS section
simply tells us what type
of event this is. In this
case its a note event.
Other types of events are discussed further on.
1V - (NOTE VALUE)
Any displayed event has
three values called 1V, 2V
and 3V.
Here we are looking at a note event, (probably the type of
event youll be dealing with most often), so we can discuss
the specific meanings of each value as they apply to this
type of event. Please note that, for a different type of event,
(like a CONTROL or PITCH BEND event), the three values
will have quite different meanings.
In the case of a note event, the first value will always be
the Note Value - the actual name of the key that was
pressed. In this case it was F3, (F belove middle C).
