Event View - Akai FORCE User Manual

Clip Edit Mode will appear differently when using a clip with MIDI data. Drum, Keygroup, Plugin, MIDI and CV tracks all
use Event View instead of Region View, which allows you to edit MIDI data.

previous state.
To add a note, tap the Pencil icon in the upper-right corner of the display. Then, in the grid, tap a square.
To erase a note, tap the Eraser icon in the upper-right corner. Then, in the grid, tap a note.

your finger to select multiple notes.

To adjust the start point or end point of the selected notes (without changing their position), tap Edit Start
or Edit End at the bottom of the screen, and then use the data dial or –/+ buttons.
To transpose the selected notes up or down, tap Transpose at the bottom of the screen, and then use the
data dial or –/+ buttons.
To adjust the velocity of the selected notes, tap Velocity at the bottom of the screen, and then use the data
dial or –/+ buttons. The numeric value will appear on the screen.
To show or hide the velocity lane, tap the up arrow (∧) button in the lower-right corner of the screen to show
the velocity lane below the grid. Each note's velocity is represented by a vertical bar. The higher and more red
the bar is, the higher the velocity is.
Tap the up arrow (∧) button once more to show a taller version of the velocity lane, after which it will turn into a
down arrow (∨) button, which you can then tap to hide the velocity lane.
