or Arrangement View track will give that track focus; its Track View will open, allowing you
to drop your chain into place.
Since the Track View can show only one device chain at a time, the Chain List also serves as
a navigational aid: The list selection determines what will be shown in the adjacent Devices
view (when enabled). Try using your computer keyboard's and keys to change the
selection in the Chain List, and you'll nd that you can quickly ip through the contents of a
Rack.
The Chain List also supports multi-selection of chains, for convenient copying, organizing
and regrouping. In this case, the Devices view will indicate how many chains are currently
selected.
Each chain has its own Chain Activator, as well as Solo and Hot-Swap buttons. Chains in
Instrument, Drum and Audio Effect Racks also have their own volume and pan sliders, and
Drum Rack chains have additional send level and MIDI assignment controls. Like Live Clips,
entire chains can be saved and recalled as presets in the Device Browser. You can give a
chain a descriptive name by selecting it, then choosing the Edit menu's Rename command.
You can also enter your own info text for a chain via the Edit Info Text command in the Edit
menu or in the chain's (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context menu. The context menu also
contains a color palette where you can choose a custom chain color.
