View filter: Show and hide types of data in the list.
Event: A row of information concerning a single bit
of MIDI, audio or conductor track data. Events at
different locations are separated by a line. The
information displayed for an event depends on its
type; see “Event List basics” on page 418 for more
information.
Selected events: Click an event to select it. Shift-
click to select a range of events. Command/Win-
click to select non-adjacent events.
EVENT LIST MINI-MENU
In addition to the standard items covered in “Edit
Window mini-menus” on page 330, the Event List
mini-menu has the following additional item:
ReInsert: Inserts an event of the same type that you
last inserted. For example, if you insert a patch
change with the Insert button, the next ReInsert
command will insert a patch change as well. For
more information, see “Inserting data in the Event
List” on page 425. This command can also be
invoked by Option/Alt-clicking on the Insert (+)
button.
EVENT LIST TITLE BAR
The Event List title bar contains the standard edit
window elements discussed in “Window Target”
on page 329.
EVENT LIST BASICS
The Event List displays MIDI data and other events
sequentially. There is one event per line in the
display. Events which occur at the same time (such
as notes in a quantized chord) will be grouped
together between horizontal lines. The starting
time is listed only for the first event of these groups.
MIDI notes are defined by their location, pitch, on
velocity, off velocity, duration and end time as
shown below in Figure 40-2. Audio soundbites
display their location, name, duration and end
time as shown in Figure 40-4.
Figure 40-2: This example shows eight MIDI notes.
All events types are displayed in the Event List,
even ones that are not MIDI or audio data, like
markers, tempo changes and mute automation
events. The next example shows several different
types of events. Some are MIDI data, like the patch
change event, notes, and pitch bend. Others are
Digital Performer-related events, like the marker,
key change, and meter change events.

the Event List.
Audio track Event Lists display audio events,
including soundbites, volume automation control
points and plug-in automation data.
