The Event List
Val
Strength of the pressure on the key.
Meta Events:
Meta events are not MIDI events, but are control mes-
sages specific to MAGIX midi studio generation 6. They
are used to automate specific MAGIX midi studio genera-
tion 6 functions, and organize objects in the notation
which cannot be represented by MIDI events.
To create a meta event, click on the Full Message button
with the right mouse button.
Num and Val
Num determines the function of the Meta Events you cre-
ate, and Val is the value that is sent. In the Event List win-
dow you should only ever insert and edit the following
Num values:
Num = 47 Send Byte to MIDI. This sends the track
any byte value (Val) between 0 and 255 ($00-$FF). As an
example of how to use this Meta Event, if you send 246 as
the byte, this is equivalent to a MIDI tuning request
message. The display will show “Send Byte $F6”. Only use
this Meta Event if you know what you’re doing—if you
don’t, your sound modules and synths may start to behave
very oddly indeed…
Num = 49 Goto Screenset. This event calls up a
screenset (Val determines the number). The track is irrel-
evant.
Num = 50 Song Select. This event will switch songs
on a MIDI data filer (Val = the stored song number), if you
have one connected. The track for this event is irrelevant.
Num = 52 Stop Song. Playback will be stopped.
Event Float Window
The event float window can be accessed from most other
windows.
Select Options > Event Float… (or the key command Open
Event Float) to open an event float window. This gives in-
formation on the currently-selected object, and can be
compared to a single line of the Event List. You can edit all
the parameters in this window.
