Native Instruments MASCHINE MK3 - Editing Events with the Mouse: an Overview

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.
