The event position will be adjusted independently of the current Step Grid: It is de-
signed as a fine adjustment within the current step.
Alternatively you can use the controls in the EDIT section of your controller to edit the selected
events — 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 in-
formation 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.
