The Event Types button is used to select which types of MIDI events to display; by default most everything is on. The Show hidden box can be turned on to display 'hidden' events, which are typically system-generated and not visible in the track editor. For example, placing a controller of 0 at measure 1 and 127 at measure 4 will generate all the intermediary events necessary to smoothly transition between the two values. All these intermediary events are 'hidden' events, and can be viewed by engaging this parameter.
