Coding scheme

In The Observer XT coding scheme, calls are imported as discrete events, each consisting of a state event (call name) and a modifier (pattern label).

nState events are listed in one Start-stop group named Calls. Call events with different names can be overlapping.

nIf a call was labeled in UltraVox XT before exporting, the corresponding state event is attached to the modifier with the same name as the label. Modifiers are listed in a group named Pattern.
