Working with multiple tracks in the Piano Roll view

You can view as many tracks as you want in the Piano Roll view. When you display several tracks at

the same time in the Piano Roll view, you control which track(s) you can see and/or edit by using the

buttons in the Track List pane. To show or hide the Track List pane, click the Piano Roll view View

menu and choose Show/Hide Track Pane.

If you want to edit the data in a track, you must make the track you want to edit the current track. The

name of the current track appears highlighted in the Track List pane. The following shows three

tracks in the Track List pane:

A. Track’s data shown in Notes pane B. Track’s data hidden in Notes pane C. Mute D. Track enabled for track

editing E. Solo F. Arm G. Track disabled for track editing H. Output I. Current track

To make a track the current track in the Track List pane, click on the track. When a thin dotted line

surrounds the track, it is the current track.

The following is a list of ways to optimize the multiple track functionality in the Piano Roll view.

Selecting tracks to view

To assign tracks to the Track List pane, click the Piano Roll view Tracks menu and choose Pick

Tracks. Click on a track name to select it. Hold down the CTRL key and click more track names to

select additional tracks. To show the next or previous track, click the Piano Roll view Tracks menu

and choose Show Previous Track or Show Next Track. Selecting Show Previous Track(s)

moves the track or range of tracks down by one track number. Selecting Show Next Track(s)

moves the track or range of tracks up by one track number. For example, if you have tracks 2, 3 and

7 displayed in the Track List pane and you select Show Previous Track(s), the Track List pane

displays tracks 1, 2, and 6.

Tip:

Clicking a note will make the note’s parent track the current track.
