Select the Auto Define checkbox in the Hyper Editor’s Inspector (or use the Toggle Auto
Define key command, default assignment: Control-A).

3

Choose Hyper > Create Event Definition in the Hyper Editor (or use the Create Event
Definition key command, default assignment: Option-Command-N).

If the hyper set already contains a matching event definition (controller #71 Resonance,
from the example), Logic Express won’t create a superfluous double definition. The existing
event definition is moved into the visible area of the Hyper Editor in this situation.

Note: Don’t forget to deselect Auto Define immediately after completing your input. If
you don’t, you may inadvertantly select an event type in another editor, and this will be
used as the basis for new event definitions. This could be frustrating, and surprising, when
using the Control-Return key command, in particular, to create new definitions.

To create several event definitions at once

1

Select the events that you want to create event definitions for in one of the other MIDI
editors.

As above, the Event List is recommended.

2

Do one of the following

• Choose Hyper > Create Multiple Event Definitions (or use the corresponding key

command), then click the Selected button in the dialog.

• Choose Hyper > Create Hyper Set for Current Events (or use the corresponding key

command).

This creates a new hyper set that contains event definition lanes for each of the selected
event types. This is especially useful for quick hyper set creation of all Hyper Draw (MIDI
controller) events in a region. Open the Event List, filter the note events, select all
remaining events, and use Hyper > Create Hyper Set for Current Events.

To create event definitions for all event types in a region

1

Select the region.

2

Choose Hyper > Create Multiple Event Definitions (or use the corresponding key
command).

3

Click the All button in the dialog to confirm that you want to create event definitions for
all types of events in the region.
