 System Exclusive: The most recent SysEx message before the playback start point is
transmitted.
 Text Meta Events: The most recent Text Meta Event message before the playback start
point is transmitted.
 Chase separate channels in ‘All Channels’ instruments: Multi-instruments (found in the
Environment) have a global channel, and can have up to 16 MIDI sub-channels. Turn
on this option to scan for events on each MIDI sub-channel, rather than the global
multi-instrument channel.
 Chase on Cycle Jump: Scans for, and sends, all event types if the cycle start and end
points fall across regions.
 Notes: Limits cycle jump scan to note events.
 Send full MIDI reset before chasing: Sends a MIDI reset message before chasing,
ensuring that all MIDI devices being triggered are set to their defaults.
There is a potential problem when chasing notes that are used to trigger a drum loop
in a sampler. Unless you are lucky enough to start the MIDI region precisely at the
beginning of the sample loop, the sample will be triggered at the wrong time and will,
therefore, be played out of sync with other regions (at least until the next trigger note).
The problem occurs because most samplers can only play samples from the beginning,
and cannot synchronize them to the beat when started in the middle.
To avoid triggering a sampler’s drum loops when chasing note events:
1 Activate the No Transpose parameter of your drum loop instrument, in the Track
Parameter box of the Inspector.
2 Turn off the In ‘No Transpose’ Instrument Channel Strips option in the Project Settings >
MIDI > Chase tab.
These settings prevent your sampler’s drum loops from playing until they reach the
next trigger note, whenever the project jumps to a new position.
The No Transpose parameter actually prevents transposition by the region playback
parameters, which is also not desirable for drum sounds or loops.
