Peer Event Common Properties

These properties are shared by all the Peer Event types.

Track(s)

The track field is actually a sequence of steps separated by commas, with each step containing zero or more tracks. The following tokens are defined and most can be combined.

Token Meaning
Space Spaces can be used pretty much anywhere and will be ignored. Can help to improve readability.
Numbers A simple number specifies a single track. If a number specifies an invalid track it will be ignored and will produce no output (becomes a 'rest').
n Signifies "the last track" and can be used anywhere you would use a number eg. "0-n" will output on all tracks simultaneously while "0~n" would output on all tracks sequentially.
, The comma separates steps in the track sequence eg. "1,2,3" will output to track 1 on first triggering, track 2 on the second and track 3 on the third. The track sequence is a loop so the fourth triggering will output to track 1 again. Empty steps are permitted and will produce no output.
_ An underscore means "no track" or "rest". Same as an empty step but the meaning is more explicit.
+ Use the plus sign to specify additional tracks eg. "0+2+4" will output to tracks 0, 2 and 4 simultaneously.
- Use the minus symbol to specify a range of tracks eg. "1-4" will output to tracks 1,2,3 and 4 simultaneously.
~ Use the tilde symbol to specify a range of tracks as a list eg. "1~3" will have the same result as "1,2,3". Reverse order is okay so "3~1" will be the same as "3,2,1". Cannot be combined with other tokens.
a The lowercase a means "all tracks simultaneously", the same as "0-n". You cannot comine this with other tokens.
A An uppercase A means "all tracks sequentially", the same as "0~n". You cannot comine this with other tokens.
R Choose a random track. See Notes.
R3 or R:3 Random track from 0-3. If the number specified is greater than the number of available tracks, Magic will use the last available track. See Notes.
Starting from Magic 1.16, the : symbol is optional.
R3-7 or R:3-7 Random track within specified range. If the number specified is greater than the number of available tracks, Magic will use the last available track. See Notes.
Starting from Magic 1.16, the : symbol is optional.
