MIDI and Drum Tracks
Common to the various Event types, are the Start Position, Length and Chn param-
eters. As you expected, these show where an Event starts (as a meter or time posi-
tion value, see page 147 in this chapter), its length in ticks and its MIDI Channel
value, respectively. The table below shows the List columns and the parameters for
the different Event types (the rows):
There is also a column named Status. For all Event types except Control Change
(see below), this is just an explanatory value that can’t be changed, e.g. “Note” for
Note Events etc.
Transforming Controller Events
If you change Value 1 for a Control Change Event, you actually change the Con-
troller from one type to another. To simplify this, the name of the Controller type is
shown in the “Status” column in the List. You can change the value either in the
“Val 1” column or the “Status” column.
• If you want to transform all Controller Events of a certain type to another
type, use this feature in conjunction with the Mask function (described
on page 145 in this chapter) and the [Alt] key on the computer keyboard
(which makes changes affect all Events in the List, see page 141 in this
chapter).

Changing the value in the

column, and vice versa.
