7.2 Erasing an event
Any event being displayed can be erased by holding ERASE and pressing RECORD. Erasing an event
removes it from the track, but does not alter the timing of the track. For example, removing a quarter
note at the beginning of the track does not move everything else forward a quarter note.
7.3 Adding an event
An event can be added by using the COPY button. Pressing and holding COPY causes the following
display:
Pressing the RECORD button will insert a note at the current beat location, with a note value of C3, a
velocity of 64, and a duration of 1 beat. This note can then be edited as described above to any desired
value. If something other than a note is desired to be inserted, the page up and page down buttons can
be used to scroll through the other choices before pressing RECORD:
In the above choices, pressing RECORD will insert the displayed event at the current beat and with
values of 0.
While in part EDIT, the fast forward and rewind buttons are used to advance and retreat respectively,
through the list of MIDI events on the selected track. When the end of a track is reached, or if a track is
empty, the display will read END OF TRACK. Playing a part while in part edit will play the part while
continuing to display the events as they happen on the display.
