Radical Event-Level Key Changes

Through meticulous splitting of a loop into one or two note events, entirely new melodies can be created with the use of event-level key changes (see Fignre 3.28). While the distortion of snch drastic changes may limit this process somewhat, the increased variety that this process provides makes it possible to avoid the bane of all loop-based music composition—too mucb repetition. 

Draw an event into a project. It may be easier if you limit the event to the length of the loop (one loop). 

Zoom in on the event until individual beats or notes can be seen in the waveform. 

Click on the event between two notes. The timeline cursor moves to this position. 

Press the S key on your keyboard to split the event. The original event is now split into two events. The events can be split further for more flexibility.
