Selecting All Events
You can select all events displayed in the Event area via the usual keyboard shortcut on your
operating system:
►
Click anywhere in the Event area and press [Ctrl] + [A] ([Cmd] + [A] on macOS) on your
computer keyboard to select all displayed events.
→
If the Pattern Editor is in Group view this will select all events for all Sounds in the Pat-
tern. If the Pattern Editor is in Keyboard view this will select all events at all pitches for
the focused Sound.
Selecting Events/Notes on the Controller
Using your controller, you can quickly select particular events from the current Pattern and in
order to edit them without affecting the other events.
To select events in your Pattern:
►
Hold EVENTS to enter Event Select mode — or press EVENTS + Button 1 to pin the
Event Select mode.
→
The EVENTS button lights up. You can now select notes and events using various tools:
the pads, Buttons 5–8, Knobs 1–4, and the Page buttons (left of the displays).
The Event Edit mode is well suited for use with the Event Select mode! For example,
while in Event Edit mode, you can quickly hold
EVENTS (in the TRANSPORT section of
your controller) to momentarily switch to Event Select mode, select particular events,
and release
EVENTS to switch back to Event Edit mode and edit the events you have
just selected!
Depending on the current pad mode (Group mode or Keyboard mode, see
↑
5.1.1, The Pad
View in the Software ), these tools will select events differently, as described in the following
paragraphs.
Event Select Mode: Selecting Events (Pads in Group mode)
In Group mode (the default mode of the pads) each pad represents a specific Sound of the
focused Group.
