Step editing Chapter 5 : Step editing There are two ways to edit sequences. You can select a region and edit several events at one time, or you can edit each event in detail. In this section, you will learn about the STEP EDIT mode, where you can edit each event in detail. About step edit Each track has the performance data you made with pads, or MIDI note information from an external MIDI keyboard. The Step Edit function allows you to edit each event separately. There are other types of events than Pad and MIDI note information. There are also events specific to the MPC1000, such as Q-Link slider information and tempo information, and MIDI events such as pitch bend and modulation wheel. Step edit is done in the STEP EDIT mode, which is accessed by pressing the [MODE] key and then [PAD 14]. Screens Now field The time display on the upper left corner on the screen is the Now field. The Now field always displays the current position of a sequence. This is the same as the Now field in the MAIN page. View field You can set the type of events to display in the event list in this field. The event list displays only the events set in this field. It is useful when you wish to edit only specific events. Event list The event list is displayed below the Now field and the View field. It lists the events within the active track. Event time field The event time field is displayed to the left of the event list. It displays the positions of the events within the track.
