Chapter 17 Editing MIDI in the Hyper Editor 449
To create an event definition for a specific event:
1 Select the desired event type (controller #71 Resonance, for example) in one of the
other MIDI editors.
∏ Tip: The Event List is highly recommended for this task as it can display all MIDI event
types.
2 Enable the Auto Define checkbox in the Hyper Editor’s Inspector (or use the Toggle
Auto Define key command, default: Control-A).
3 Choose Hyper > Create Event Definition in the Hyper Editor (or use the Create Event
Definition key command, default: Option-Command-N).
If the hyper set already contains a matching event definition (controller #71 Resonance,
from the example), Logic Express won’t create a superfluous double definition. The
existing event definition is moved into the visible area of the Hyper Editor in this
situation.
Note: Don’t forget to switch off Auto Define immediately after completing your input.
If you don’t do this, you may inadvertently select an event type in another editor, and
this will be used as the basis for new event definitions. This could be frustrating, and
surprising, when using the Control-Return key command, in particular, to create new
definitions.
To create several event definitions at once:
1 Select the events that you want to create event definitions for in one of the other MIDI
editors.
As above, the Event List is recommended.
2 Do one of the following
 Choose Hyper > Create Multiple Event Definitions (or use the corresponding key
command), then click the Selected button in the dialog.
 Choose Hyper > Create Hyper Set for Current Events (or use the corresponding key
command).
This creates a new hyper set that contains event definition lanes for each of the
selected event types. This is especially useful for quick hyper set creation of all Hyper
Draw (MIDI controller) events in a region. Open the Event List, filter the note events,
select all remaining events, and use Hyper > Create Hyper Set for Current Events.
