Common Parameters for TRACK Functions
Locate
This parameter is available for every TRACK function.
The value of Locate indicates the bar and beat, and changes in real time during playback and
recording, reflecting the song’s current position. You can set Locate to any bar and beat,
including negative values. Playback begins at this location, and pressing Stop returns you to
this location.
Region / Criteria Window Parameters
The following parameters appear on most TRACK function pages (when Events has a value of
Notes).Many pages have addiitonal parameters pertaining to those functions.
From, To
From and To are available for most TRACK functions; together they define a range of time
within the selected track(s). This region defines the song segment that you plan to edit—the
From value is the first bar and beat of the segment, and the To value is the final bar and beat.
From and To are always expressed in bars and beats, and are aligned exactly on the beat when
adjusted manually (that is, when you change their values using the Alpha Wheel or another
data entry method). If you need finer resolution, you can set From and To values that aren’t
exactly on the beat, using the FromTo soft button (see Soft Buttons on the TRACK Page,
page 3-43).
Events
Use this parameter to select any type of MIDI event for editing. Whatever function you’re using
gets applied to the type(s) of MIDI events specified with the value of the Events parameter.
Available Values are: All, Notes, Controllers, MonoPress, PitchBend, ProgChange, PolyPress,
SysEx, and Tempo.
When Events is Set to All
The function you’re using gets applied to all MIDI events between the From and To values on
the track(s) you’re ediitng.
When Events is Set to Notes
You can change the range of notes to be edited, as well as the range of attack velocities to
edit.Notes outside of either range are not affected.
When Events is Set to Controllers
On many function pages there’s an additional parameter called Ctl (Controller). If you set Ctl to
All, the current function affects all Controller messages.
You can edit individual Controller message types; just set Ctl to something other than All (Refer
to the Control Source list in the Musician’s Guide.for the complete set). In this case, the LoVal and
Hi parameters appear, enabling you to set a range of Controller message values to be edited.
Values outside this range are not affected.
