The Edit Pop-Up
When you’ve selected a recording—
or a portion of it—right-click your
mouse in the playlist area to display
the Edit pop-up. It’s filled with
editing options for the recording.
The same menu appears when you’re
editing MIDI tracks—the items that are
unavailable now are for MIDI editing only.
This menu item: Allows you to:
Move... move the selected audio to a different time
location and/or track.
Copy & Paste... copy the selected audio to a different time
location and/or track, replacing whatever’s
already there.
Copy & Insert... copy the selected audio to a different time
location and/or track, inserting it at the
desired location. If audio’s already there, it’s
pushed back in time so it starts at the end of
the inserted audio.
Erase replace the selected audio with silence.
Cut delete the selected audio, sliding any audio
that follows it into its place.
Copy as Audio Phrase... assign the selected audio to one of the
MV-8000 pads as an audio phrase.
Audio Event Parameter control the behavior of the recording. We’ll get
into the AUDIO EVENT PARAMETER window in
detail in “Audio Event Parameters.”
Copy as New Pattern... and Paste Pattern... have to do with managing
MV-8000 patterns—we’re not concerned with that here.
Dragging, Dropping
You can also use your mouse to move and/or copy the
recording on your VGA. To:
• move the recording—click the recording and drag it to the
desired position.
• copy the recording—hold down SHIFT and drag a copy of
the recording to the desired position.
Audio Event Parameters
When you select Audio Event Parameter from the Edit pop-up,
the AUDIO EVENT PARAMETER window appears.
This parameter: Sets:
Level the basic level of the recording.
Coarse Tune the tuning of the recording, in keyboard steps,
or “semitones.”
Fine Tune the tuning of the recording, in 100ths of a
semitone.
BPM Sync whether or not the recording’s tempo is locked
to the sequence tempo so it automatically
stays in time even if the sequence tempo
changes after Direct Recording.
Stretch Type the algorithm the MV-8000 uses to keep the
recording in time when BPM Sync is on. Higher
values result in higher audio quality. If you’re
not sure of the setting to use, set this to Auto.
