Creating Event Definitions
Creating an Event Definition
When you select Hyper > Create Event Definition, a new event definition is added, at the
position of the currently selected event definition. Initially, it has the same parameters
as the original. The event definitions beneath it are moved downwards.
Automatically Creating Event Definitions
If you select an event in another opened editor window, you can automatically create
an equivalent event definition by checking the Auto Define checkbox. You can switch
this function on/off with the Auto Define Toggle key command.
If the current hyper set already contains an event definition that corresponds to the
type of the selected event, Logic does not create a superfluous double definition. The
existing event definition is moved into the visible area in this situation.
Don’t forget to switch off Auto Define immediately after completing your input.
Creating Several Event Definitions Automatically
You can also automatically create several event definitions. Just select the events that
you want to base the event definitions on. You can use the same function to create
event definitions for all event types in the selected MIDI Region.
It’s a good idea to create a new hyper set before creating a group of new definitions.
Hyper > Create Hyper Set For Current Events creates a new hyper set with event types
that match those of the selected events. This is especially nice if you want to quickly
create a hyper set for all event types created in the conventional Region HyperDraw.
You can open the Event Editor, select all, deselect the note events, open the Hyper
Editor and use Hyper > Create Hyper Set For Current Events. All used event types can then
be edited in the Hyper Editor.
If you select Hyper > Multi Create Event Definition a dialog box asks whether you want to
create event definitions for all event types (select All or press Return), or just the
selected events (Selected). Press Cancel to abort.
Deleting an Event Definition
Select Hyper > Delete Event Definition to remove the selected event definition.
Sorting Event Definitions
To change the vertical order of the various event definitions, just grab the event
definition you want to move by its name column, and drag it to the desired position.
