And here are the events contained in the Master track.
To edit the event Type and Values, select the parameter and use
the VALUE DIAL to change their value. In case of numeric val-
ues, you can also press them twice to open the numeric keypad.
Length
Length of the selected Note event. The value format is the same
as the Position value. Edit it in the same way.
Note: If you change a length of “000.00.000” to a different value,
you can’t go back to the original value. This rather uncommon
zero-length value may be found in the drum and percussion tracks
of Songs made in Backing Sequence mode.
Track
