• Options . Click the Options button to open the Matrix Options dialog box. 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.

same track.
