428 Chapter 17 Editing MIDI in the Hyper Editor
To create a new event definition:
1 Select an event definition lane by clicking on one of the names shown.
The selected lane is highlighted.
2 Choose Hyper > Create Event Definition (or use the corresponding key command,
default: Option-Command-N).
This creates a new event definition lane. The original, and all subsequent, event
definition lanes are moved downwards. The new event definition parameters are
identical to the originally selected event definition.
3 Adjust the event definition parameters in the Inspector (more on this shortly).
You can use the Auto Define feature to automatically create event definitions for
specific event types in your project.
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 Pro 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 inadvertantly 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.
