The Event area in moon.hands is a timeline-based interface where tracks are displayed as horizontal lanes, and time is shown along the horizontal axis in bars. Clicking and dragging within a track lane creates an event block, triggering loop recording if the corresponding clip slot is empty or loop playback if a clip is present.
