Chapter 17 Editing MIDI in the Hyper Editor 443
To assign a fixed event value:
1 Enable the Fix Value checkbox in the Inspector.
2 Click any existing event with the Pencil tool to use its value as a preset.
In fix value mode, it is impossible to alter an event value by clicking on it.
Note: When adding events with the Line tool in fix value mode, the preset value is
always used as the starting value of the line.
Changing the Length of Added Notes and Events
You can use the Length parameter to set the length of events (this primarily applies to
note events) to be added, measured in divisions (the left number), and ticks (the right
number).
You should avoid the use of small tick values. Many MIDI devices do not respond
quickly enough when note on/note off messages are sent in quick succession, resulting
in no note being heard.
Selecting Events
You can use any of the usual selection techniques (see “Selection Techniques” on
page 177), with the following differences:
To select individual events:
m Hold Shift, and click on the desired events.
To select several contiguous events:
m Hold Shift, and make a rubber band selection.
Ensure that you do not click on any events. If you simply click or drag with the Pointer
tool, the selected event values will be changed, so make sure Shift is held!
To select all events on a lane:
m Click the event definition name.
To select all events on multiple lanes:
m Shift-click on the appropriate event definition names.
