results. For example, if you have program changes at bar 1 and bar 8, then if you jump from bar
1 to bar 9 any notes you scroll through will be played with the program change from bar 1.
The channel of the selected event is displayed on the top line of the page. When all of the tracks
are being viewed in the Event list, the track of the selected event is displayed along with its
channel. Use the Chan/Bank buttons to select an active track to view and edit the MIDI events
recorded on it. You can view the data on all tracks by pressing both Chan/Bank buttons at the
same time (or press Chan/Bank Up or Down until you scroll past the highest- or lowest-
numbered track in the song). As you scroll through each event, the track and channel for the
selected event appear in the top line of the display.

Location

The first column represents the Bar and Beat Locations of the different events in a song. Scroll
through the events on the selected track(s) with the Alpha Wheel or enter in a specific Bar and
Beat on the alphanumeric buttonpad to jump to events occurring on that Beat. A quick way to
jump to the End point in a track is to press 9999 and then Enter on the alphanumeric buttonpad.

Bar, Beat, and Tick

Bar, Beat, and Tick are editable parameters for each event. They determine when an event
happens relative to the other events within the song. To enter values with the alphanumeric
buttonpad, first position the cursor in this column and then simply enter up to three digits if you
only want to adjust the Tick value, four or five digits in order to change the location to a new
Beat and Tick within the current Bar, or enter in the complete Bar, Beat, and Tick value to
relocate the event to another Bar. No punctuation is necessary when entering any of these
values.

Event Type and Value

The Event Type and Value region displays the MIDI event type (and related information) at each
Event-list location in the song. Different event types display different kinds of information, and
have different editable values. You can't change the type of an event, but you can change the
values associated with that event type.
For example, you can't change a CTRL message to a PCHG message, but for any control
message, you can change both its destination and value. A Note On is always a Note On—but
you can change the values for its note number, attack velocity, release velocity, and duration.
Incidentally, you won't see the event type for Note Ons, just the editable values.
