Matrix view
• Cell Start / .This toggle lets you specify globally if a pattern should start from the
beginning of the pattern, or if playback may start in the middle of a pattern in order to synchronize
with the project’s Now time. The two modes are as follows:
• Always from Beginning . When you trigger a cell, the pattern will start playing from the
beginning of the pattern, after the amount of time listed in the Trigger Resolution menu.
• Offset to Now Time . When you trigger a cell, the pattern will start playing in sync with
the Now time after the amount of time listed in the Trigger Resolution menu. It’s as if the cell’s
pattern is repeated throughout the song and you unmute the pattern at a certain point. This is
the default setting.
• Cell MIDI Trigger . This toggle lets you enable/disable MIDI control over the Matrix view.
Click the small arrow next to the Cell MIDI Trigger button to specify which MIDI channel the
Matrix view should respond to (select Omni for all channels).
• Options . Click the Options button to open the Matrix Options dialog. The following
options are available:
• Empty cells stop active cells when triggered. This option determines how playing cells are
affected when triggering an empty cell in the same row. If Empty cells stop active cells when
triggered is disabled (default), triggering an empty cell has no effect on other cells. If Empty
cells stop active cells when triggered is selected, triggering an empty cell in a row will force
the row to stop playing. Likewise, triggering a column that contains empty cells will force the
corresponding row to stop playing. This option is disabled by default.
• AutoScroll to Column when Triggered by MIDI. This option allows the Matrix view to
automatically scroll a column into view if one of the column’s cells are triggered by MIDI.
• Import all audio as GrooveClips. This option forces all audio to be imported as Groove
Clips.
