Editing Events in Step Mode on the Controller
On your controller in Step mode, each event you create is automatically selected (and the pre-
vious  selection  is  dropped).  You  can  then  adjust  the  pitch  and  position  of  this  last  created
event  via  the  various  commands  available  on  your  pads  while  holding  SHIFT  —  see  section
↑7.4.4, Editing Selected Events/Notes, ↑7.4.5, Deleting Events/Notes, ↑7.4.6, Cut, Copy, and
Paste Events/Notes, and ↑7.4.7, Quantizing Events/Notes for more information on the available
commands.
7.4 Editing Events
 
Many creation and editing commands on events/notes are available directly via mouse actions
in  the  Event  area  of  the  Pattern  Editor.  They  will  be  applied  according  to  the  selected  Step
Grid resolution (see ↑7.1.7, Adjusting the Step Grid and the Nudge Grid). In Group view, the
Sound in focus will change according to the row you click in. Selected notes are highlighted.
Events vs. Notes
Basically events and notes are the same thing: a trigger for a Sound with a particular velocity,
pitch,  length,  etc.  If  the  word  “note”  is  used  when  dealing  with  melodic  instruments  and
“event” when dealing with drum kits, keep in mind that both words have the same meaning in
the MASCHINE context.
