Display Functions
The section Window Functions from page 86 onwards de-
scribes the basic window functions, including how to lay
out the window elements to make more space for the
event display in the graphic editors, and how to operate
the zoom functions.
Many of the display options in the editor windows corre-
spond to those in the Arrange window:
By choosing View > Parameters you can hide or show the
parameter fields to enlarge the window’s working area.
The key command is Hide/Show Parameters.
In the Matrix and Drum Editors you can conceal or reveal
the transport panel in the top left corner by choosing View
> Transport.
