The Event List
Duplicating Events: To duplicate an existing event (for
example, so you can alter the parameter value of the copy)
click on the original event with the pencil. An input box
appears—this is where you enter the position for the
newly-duplicated event. If you just hit return, the dupli-
cate will appear at the same place as the original.
Pasting from the Clipboard: When adding events using the
clipboard’s Paste function, a position input box will ap-
pear, allowing you to type in the position of the first event.
Once again, if you confirm by just pressing return, the
original position of the event is retained. The relative posi-
tions are also always maintained.
This means that the events are not added at the song posi-
tion, as in the graphical editors. For more details on the
way the clipboard works, please refer to page 95.
Moving Events: To move an event in time, alter its posi-
tion indicator. As soon as you alter its position, the list is
automatically sorted, even though the currently selected
event remains the same.
Altering Values
Event positions or parameter values can be altered in the
usual way by using the mouse like a slider (grabbing and
dragging), or via text input (just double-click on the para-
meter value).
You cannot alter the type of events using this method,
however. To alter the event type, you must add an event of
the desired type, and then delete the original event.
Altering the Values of Several Events: If a parameter
of a selected event is altered, it will affect the same para-
meter in all selected events.
Relative Value Alteration: When you alter parameter values
in a multiple selection, the relative differences between
the parameter values remain unchanged. The parameter
values that you grab or double-click on can therefore only
be altered until the value of one of the selected events has
reached its maximum or minimum value.
Flexible Relative Value Alteration: If you want to continue
altering a parameter value in a multiple selection (even if
one of the values in the selection has reached its maxi-
mum or minimum), hold down ctrl while you move the
mouse, or press return to confirm a numerical input.
Absolute Value Alteration: If you want to set a parameter to
the same value for all selected events, hold down the shift
and ctrl keys while you use the mouse as a slider.
