. . . go to Inspector > Event Definition Parameter box > Hyper Set menu > Create Hyper Set for Current Events
|
|
The name of a customized hyper set matches the name of its corresponding _____.
|
region
|
|
The customized hyper set should contain two types of event definitions. What are they?
|
1. only those used in the region
plus 2. Display off: corresponds to P-Press events for programmed accents |
|
shortcut keystrokes for deleting an event definition from Hyper Editor . . .
|
Control-Delete
|
|
Is deleting an event from the Hyper Editor a destructive operation?
|
No. It's just deleted from the hyper set to clean up the display. It's still visible in the Event List.
|
|
When your customized hyper set is first displayed in the Hyper Editor, its headers are entitled with MIDI note numbers, and the order in which the event definitions are listed is taken from the GM Standard. How can you further customize this hyper set?
|
1. by renaming the headers with matching instrument names
2. vertically drag to reordering the lanes |
|
If the Pencil tool is assigned to the Command-click tool, how would you enter (i.e., create, draw) a note on the grid in Hyper Editor?
|
Command-click on the grid at the desired position.
|
|
To create an effect such as a snare roll, what first must be done to the grid resolution?
|
. . . increase the grid resolution.
|
|
In the Step sequencer, the width of the blue bars in the velocity/gate row vary directly with the length of the note. If you adjust the pen width and therefore the width of the vertical bars, what effect does this have on length of the notes?
|
None. It only facilitates reading a finer grid resolution on the corresponding lane in Hyper Editor. The note length in the Event List is unchanged.
|
|
How do you deselect notes in Hyper Editor?
|
. . . click the background
|
|
One of the tasks you should do after creating a drum roll is to shorten the Snare note lengths. Why?
|
. . . so their note beams don't overlap when you look at them later in Piano Roll Editor.
|
|
How do you quantize note lengths in Hyper Editor?
|
1. select the vertical blue bars [when you do, the Event List entries corresponding to the selected vertical bars will also be highlighted]
2. Shift-dragging down on any one of the Event List selections quantizes them all to 1 tick in length. 3. double-click any selection's Length parameter in the Event List and type in desired length. 4. Enter |
