438 Chapter 17 Editing MIDI in the Hyper Editor
You can save groups of event definitions (several lanes that you have defined) as hyper
sets (see “Working With Hyper Sets” on page 455). Hyper sets are accessed via an
Inspector menu.
The Hyper Editor features two default hyper sets: MIDI Controls and the GM Drum Kit.
The MIDI Controls hyper set provides hyper definition lanes for Volume, Pan,
Modulation, and several other commonly used controller types. The GM Drum Kit hyper
set offers lanes that match the note names of the General MIDI (GM) drum map. This is
perfect for creating drum (or other instrument) parts, by pencilling or drawing in note
events. This is similar to the use of pattern-based drum machines, where each beat is
manually entered on a grid.
To switch between the default MIDI Controls and GM Drum Kit hyper sets:
m Click the arrow button next to the Hyper Set Name field in the Inspector, then choose
the desired hyper set from the pop-up menu.
This is also how you switch between any hyper sets that you create. Each hyper set can
be named, making it easy to select the one you need.
These event definition and hyper set facilities allow you to customize the Hyper Editor,
with only the required MIDI event types being displayed. As an example: Imagine you
have recorded a synthesizer lead MIDI region. You could create a hyper set that
contained several customized event definition lanes for the note events in the region.
