312 Chapter 13 Hyper Editor
Structure
The structure of the Hyper Editor window resembles that of the Arrange
window: there is the horizontal Bar Ruler at the top, and the optional transport panel
in the top left corner. On the left is the optional parameter area and the event name
column, and to the right of that, the editing area, which can be likened to the
arrangement area of the Arrange window.
The individual lines in the Hyper Editor are functionally similar to tracks in the Arrange
window, in that each line has an event definition, which determines the event type
displayed in this line (much as tracks in the Arrange window contain an instrument).
When you select a line in the name column, its event definition is shown in the
Parameter box.
The display of events takes the form of a horizontal row of vertical beams. The height of
the beams indicates the value of the event. You can directly alter the value by grabbing
the beam and moving the mouse up and down. It is possible to store a combination of
simultaneously displayed event definitions as a hyper set.
Hyper Sets
A hyper set is a way of saving a combination of event definitions. When a hyper set is
saved, the vertical zoom setting of the Hyper Editor is stored (this determines the
number of event definitions that can be displayed simultaneously). You can save as
many hyper sets as you need in each song.
Selecting a Hyper Set
Directly above the event definition parameter field is the hyper set selection field.
Grabbing it opens a pull-down menu, which allows you to select from among the
available hyper sets.
Creating a Hyper Set
To create a new hyper set, select Hyper > Create Hyper Set. The preset event definition in
the new hyper set is the volume controller (#7). Any alterations that you make, such as
adding or redefining event definitions, or adjusting the vertical zoom setting, are
automatically stored in the current hyper set (as with screen sets).
