• MIDI Grid Edit (MGE)<br />

With the JJ OS, you can now enter <strong>and</strong> edit MIDI<br />

Events in Grid Edit, using the Drum Pads or an<br />

external MIDI controller. If you want to use the<br />

Drum Pads to enter MIDI events in the Grid, check<br />

the 'MIDI Note Settings' (p. 16) first, before you start<br />

working with Grid Edit. Although you can use the<br />

MPC's Drum Pads, connecting an external MIDI<br />

controller is recommended. To setup <strong>and</strong> prepare<br />

your controller, read the section 'MIDI, MTC <strong>and</strong><br />

MMC Sync Settings' on page 40. Once you have set<br />

everything up, do the following to record <strong>and</strong> edit<br />

the track settings area left of the grid.<br />

After the count-in, play some Notes on the connected<br />

MIDI device; the recorded MIDI events are reflected on<br />

the MIDI Grid Screen as dots (see left). Once you're<br />

finished with recording, press [STOP].<br />

The MIDI Grid now, shows the length/ duration of the<br />

recorded MIDI events; indicated by a tail after the dot.<br />

For further editing MIDI events, press [OVER DUB] <strong>and</strong><br />

move the locator to an event you want to edit. You'll see<br />

a crosshair at the beginning of the event once you reach<br />

it; the EDIT function becomes available now on F5!<br />

Press [EDIT](F5). The cursor jumps out of the Grid, into<br />

to upper line. Here you can change/ apply the following<br />

parameters (use t u to navigate between the fields,<br />

turn the DATA wheel to change the selected value):<br />

• Event position (move the event for- or backwards)<br />

• Note (move an event up or down in the scale)<br />

• Duration (D)<br />

• Velocity (V)<br />

To edit another Event, press q to enter the Grid again <strong>and</strong><br />

turn the DATA wheel or press t u to select the next event<br />

<strong>and</strong> repeat step 09. Press [OVER DUB] to stop editing.<br />

NOTE: You can only select <strong>and</strong> edit one MIDI note event<br />

at a time!<br />
