Working with patterns
EnergyXT displays recordings as
Parts in a timeline. This concept
facilitates a pattern oriented
workow as you can reuse mu-
sical phrases throughout the
song. This is extremely useful
if you have a traditional layout
with verse and chorus. Even if
you do not have a traditional
song structure it is, at least, useful to use short phrases, ris or elements again.
To create a reusable pattern:
Split your recorded takes to musically reasonable Parts (e.g. verse, chorus, ri, solo).i.
Make use of the grid snap function to split Parts from bar to bar.
Select the Parts you wish to reuse.ii.
To create a ghost copy:
Hold the iii. Ctrl key, grab the Parts with the mouse and drag them to a new position in the timeline.
The created pattern is a Ghost of the original pattern. That means if you change the contents of either the change
will be made in both patterns.
To create an indepedent copy:
Select all Parts and from the menu, choose iv. Part > Un-ghost.
