In MIDI sequencers an event list is a way to look at a written index of all the recorded MIDI messages or events. While not used often in today’s graphic-heavy software sequencer environments, Event Lists provide users with the ability to edit MIDI events precisely and comprehensively. It can be argued that Event lists are one of three ways to view or edit messages; the others are graphic editing, which is most commonly used by today’s standards, and notation editing, not available in all sequencers.
