The Event List
With pitch bend events, a 14-bit value is displayed here, which
is composed of the first (Num) and second (Val) Data bytes
combined. This value can be edited directly from here.
With notes, the length is displayed here.
Here too, the units are bars, beats, divisions, and ticks. For the
sake of clarity, when the length begins with one or more zeros,
the "_" symbol is used instead. The minimum length is 1 tick
(_ _ _ 1) not 0 ticks, because it makes no sense to simulta-
neously switch a note on and off.
Numerical input starts on the right, working to the left—and
you can enter just ticks if you want. The units can be separated
by either spaces, dots, or commas.
11.4 Event Type Structure
Note Events
Num
MIDI note number (note #). The range is from C-2 (note #: 0)
to G8 (note #: 127). Middle C is note # 60 and in MIDI termi-
nology is called C3.
On some keyboards/synth modules (notably those made by
Korg and Roland), the note range is C-1 (#0) to G9 (#127). In
these cases middle C is called C4.
Val
Velocity of a note from 1-127. The value 0 carries the note off
message, and thus is not available.
Length/Info
Length of the note. Although MIDI can only transfer note on or
note off messages, LOGIC actually stores the position and
length of all the notes which makes them easier to access musi-
