KURZWEIL MARK 12 USER'S GUIDE ADDENDUM
RECORDER Event Editor
To move around events in the track you can use the Next or Next/Up and Next/Down
button combinations. The Fast Forward and Rewind buttons will move forward and
backward respectively in the track and will move in increments of one musical measure.
Note events will be heard at the same time they are being displayed. If you would rather
not hear the note events, press the On/Off button in the Styles section. This will remove
the note icon seen in the upper right corner of the display and the Event Editor will be
silent.

EDITING EVENTS

A limited amount of event editing is possible on the Mark 12. Events may not be moved
in time, but the values of notes, controllers, and program changes may be altered, and the
velocity of notes may also be changed. Press the soft button underneath the field you
want to change; if it is changeable, the associated light will turn on and you can use the
Up/Down buttons to alter the corresponding values in that field.
To change values, press the soft button under the value and use the Up/Down button to
adjust.
To exit the Event Editor, press Menu. This will return the display to the main track editing
menu.
Following is a brief description of the different events. To become more familiar with the
MIDI standard for musical data refer to page 86 in your User's Manual.

NOTE

Note Events (representing MIDI Note On and Note Off) are the actual notes you've
played on the Mark 12 keyboard. A Note Event consists of the note name, the note
length, and the note velocity. Notes are named with the standard note letter and an octave
value (C is the first note in an octave). On the Mark 12, middle C is called C4. Note
length is the length of time a note will be played, in clock ticks. Velocity is the strength
with which the note was struck on the keyboard. Usually a higher velocity means greater
volume. You can change the note name and velocity, but not the length. It is also possible
to change notes from the keyboard by playing the desired note at the desired velocity. A
Note Event can also be removed completely by setting its velocity to zero, thus making it
silent, although the event will remain in the track.

PROGRAM CHANGE

A Program Change represents a change in the sound being heard. Program changes are
stored as numeric values. Program choice is affected by a bank select controller (control-
ler 32); each bank has 128 separate programs in it. You can change the Program number
using the Menu. (See page 92 in your User's Manual for a complete list of Mark 12
programs).
