SEARCHING

Va lu e
The Valu e setting allows you to choose specific time
in which to search. Further choices are shown
below. The Is (with slop) option is notable because
it lets you specify a specific time with a little bit of
“give and take” before and after the time you
specify. You can choose the amount of “slop”.
Selection range
The Selection range setting lets you specify a range
of time by the current selection. Make sure you
select a time range — or some data — before you
use this option.
The counter and chunk start/end settings
The From Counter to Chunk End and From Chunk
Start to Counter options let you specify a range of
time using the current time in Digital Performer’s
main counter and the beginning or end of the
current sequence.
THE EVENT-RELATED SEARCH SETTINGS
The event attribute settings let you search by data
type (such as notes) and by the specific parameters
of each data type (like note-on velocities). You can
further specify value ranges of a data attribute
(velocities between 80 and 100, for example) or
qualities of a given attribute (e.g. a key signature
with 3 flats).
Figure 46-9: Event types you can search for.
If you just want to search for several types of events,
regardless of their specific parameters, you can use
the Event Type>Choose option as shown below:
If you need to further restrict your search to certain
attributes of a data type, then choose it by name
from the list shown above in Figure 46-9, and then
you’ll also have access to all of the attributes that
type of data. An example is shown below.
