362 Chapter 13 Creating Your Arrangement
Setting Region Parameters
The parameters displayed in the Inspector’s Region Parameter box depend on the
region type selected in the Arrange area. There are parameters that are:
 Available for audio and MIDI regions.
 Only available for audio regions.
 Only available for MIDI regions.
Note: The MIDI region parameters also apply to folders, and globally affect all MIDI
regions within them.
Common Audio and MIDI Region Parameters
There are only two common parameter which are available when either audio or MIDI
regions are selected.
Loop
The playback of all region types can be continuously repeated by activating the Loop
checkbox, or through use of the Loop tool (see “Looping Regions” on page 344).
Delay
The playback of all region types can be delayed or advanced (this can be a positive or
negative value) by ticks, or a musical format variable. As examples: 1/96, 1/16, 1/192,
and so on (for more information, see “Shifting the Playback Position of Regions” on
page 327).
There are also some default behaviors of the Region Parameter box:
MIDI Thru: MIDI Region Defaults
If no region is selected, the upper line of the Region Parameter box will display MIDI
Thru. Any live MIDI input (in stop mode, as well as during recording or playback) will be
played with the settings chosen here. When you record a new MIDI region, the settings
in the MIDI Thru Parameter box are carried across to the new MIDI region’s Parameter
box. The MIDI Thru Parameter box can be viewed as an adjustable default Parameter
box.
The MIDI Thru parameters can be adjusted when no regions are selected. Click on the
Arrange window background to deselect all regions.
Note: The Set Track & MIDI Thru Parameters by Region/Folder key command allows you
to set the MIDI Thru parameters to match those of a selected MIDI region. This action
also selects the region’s track.
