Using the Song Sequencer Event Types and Screen Content The event editor screen displays the individual events that make up a song as values and characters as shown in the sample screen below. Event being edited (selected event) (Center of screen) Cursor (solid line) Events before (previous event) and after (following event) the current event The event editor screen shows three events at one time. The event in the middle line is the selected event. You can change the value where the solid-line cursor is located. A broken line under a setting value indicates that the cursor can be moved to that value. ■ Reading Event Data Here we will use two types of event displays to explain how to read event data. • Example 1: Note event 1 24 The following explains the meaning of each screen position. Number Description For all event types, indicates the even location (timing) in the following format: 1 measure:beat:tick. A "tick" is a time unit that is shorter than one beat. Song sequencer data uses 96 ticks per beat (for 2/4 to 8/4) or 48 ticks per beat (for 2/8 to 16/8). For almost all events, this position shows an abbreviation indicating the event type. "Bend" in display example (2) stands for "pitch bender event". Note events (display example (1)) and 2 chord events are different in that this position shows the event parameter (note name for a note event, root for a chord event) setting value. For information about what is displayed at this position and the corresponding event type, see the "Event Data List" (page E-83). This position shows parameter setting values that corresponds to the event type. When an event has multiple parameters, use the R-17 (u, i) 3 buttons to move the cursor, which will scroll the display between the parameters. The name of the parameter at the current cursor position will be displayed in position 4. This position indicates where the cursor is 4 currently located as "MEAS." (measure), "BEAT" (beat), or "TICK" (tick). 3 Cursor • Example 2: Pitch bender event 1 24 E-82 3 Cursor
