es" that we discussed earlier. Therefore if a note had a GATE
TIME of 192, it was held for exactly one beat.
The Equinox's EVENT LIST allows you to view and instantly
modify any of these events. In this way, even the smallest of
errors can be quickly and accurately corrected. So far we've
only looked at NOTE EVENTS. There are a number of other
events which you will typically find in a track's event list.
THE CONTROL CHANGE EVENT
The CONTROL CHANGE EVENT serves, not one, but 128 dif-
ferent functions. Whenever you move one of the sliders on the
front panel or press one of the pedals while recording, a particu-
lar type of CONTROL CHANGE EVENT is inserted into that track's
event list. These various control events are not given names in
the event list but simply referred to by numbers. Most of these
numbers are standardized on all MIDI keyboards. You can find a
list of the CONTROL CHANGE NUMBERS which the Equinox
uses in the MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART at the back of this
manual.
In the above example, the highlighted event indicates that the
volume level slider was moved. This slider movement occurred
on the 168th pulse or Beat #4 of Bar #3. We know that it was the
volume slider because the CONTROL CHANGE NUMBER for a
volume level event is 7. With a controller event, (when the STA-
TUS line shows "CNTR." as above), the value of 1V is always
the CONTROL CHANGE NUMBER. If this number was 10 in-
stead of 7 then we would know, by referring to the MIDI IMPLE-
MENTATION CHART, that this event represented the movement
of a PAN control instead of a VOLUME control. The value of 2V
is the actual level to which that control was set. So in the above
example, the volume was adjusted to a level of 85.
In this example we looked at a single volume level event. Usual-
ly, however, when a control like a slider is moved, it generates a
continuous stream of individual events. Moving a slider from its
