Name of the Event Definition
Clicking the name next to the triangle determines what appears in the name column. If
you define a named MIDI controller, or a note from a mapped instrument in the Status
and -1- parameters, the relevant name will be offered as a preset. Altering a note name
in the event definition also alters the corresponding note name in the mapped
instrument.
You can also display, add, and edit Meta Events in the Hyper Editor’s event definition.
Display and Editing Grid
The Grid parameter is set with the typical pull-down quantization menu. New events
can then be added at the set grid positions. The positions of existing events are not
affected.
If you want to quantize the positions of existing events, you can do so using event
quantization, or more simply with event definition conversion.
The same quantization templates available for playback parameters, including Groove
Templates you have defined, are accessible.
When editing complex drum rhythms, it can be useful to create several hyper
definitions for one drum note, each with a different quantization grid. As an example, if
there are two lines for a snare drum, one with a 1/16 and the other with a 1/96 grid,
you can use the pencil to add individual hits in the coarser grid, and rolls in the finer
grid.
Beam Width
You can set the width of the event beams from 1 to 16, using the Pen-width parameter.
Regardless of the beam width, the exact event position is always marked by the left
edge of the beam.
When set to the maximum value (Penwidth = 16), note events are displayed with their
actual length.
Beam Display
The Style parameter allows you to select from four different color display variations, for
the beams. Styles 5 to 8 are the same as 1 to 4, but the selected events flash when you
highlight them.
Delay
The Delay parameter can be used to delay (with positive values), or advance (negative
values) all of the events in an event definition line by an adjustable number of ticks.
The change in position is visible immediately. Even new events are offset from the grid
positions by the Delay value. If you click between the word Delay and the parameter
value, you can use a pull-down menu to enter note values (1/16 and so on) directly.
