Operation Manual

If the sound's detected key is wrong, you can adjust it via the Detected Key drop down control. The original
detected key will show up with an * next to it, in case you need to restore the original detected key.
Renaming A Sound
You can rename a sound by going to the Sound Details Tab and editing the sound's name in the edit box labeled
Name. Press the Enter key or click on another part of the window to finish the name change.
Locking Sounds
Lock a sound so that it cannot be moved or resized. You can still edit the sound's envelopes, though. To lock a
sound, select it and then choose Lock from the Sound menu. Alternatively, you can select the Sound Details Tab
and click the Lock button.
Muting Sounds
You can mute a sound so that it is inaudible. The reason you might do this is to keep a sound in the project without
having to listen to it. A muted sound will appear light gray. If you mute a track, it will mute all sounds on that track.
To mute a sound, select it and then choose Mute from the Sound menu. Alternatively, you can go to the Sound
Details Tab and click on the mute button (looks like a speaker).
Adding Effects To Sounds
You can adjust the volume, pan, low pass filter and high pass filter envelopes for each sound. If you are interested
in adding reverb, delay or other effects, go to the Track Effects section.
Sound Details
The Sound Details tab allows you to rename a sound, change its length, change its time offset, mute it, lock it,
change its tempo, pitch shift or key.
