Using MAGIX midi studio generation 6

Adjusting the Size of the Window Elements from page 88 on-

wards).

Concealing/Revealing the Parameters: The function View >

Parameters (Hide/Show Parameters) allows you to display

or remove the entire area to the left of the Arrange and Ed-

itor windows, which contains the sequence parameters,

track parameters, and the toolbox. Hiding these para-

meters gives you more space for the editor window itself.

In many windows, you can hide and/or reveal further

screen elements, such as the toolbox. These display op-

tions are always available from the View menu.

Menus

Because of MAGIX midi studio generation 6’s great range

of functions, most of them are not found in the main

menus, but appear as local menus. These are always in the

menu bars of the MAGIX midi studio generation 6 win-

dows where they are required.

Hierarchical Menus: You use the menus (whether

main or local) in the same way as in other application pro-

grams: grab the menu title, move the mouse over the de-

sired item , and release the mouse button. In hierarchical

menus, there is a right-pointing arrow after the item. If

you highlight this item, a sub-menu drops down to the

right. To choose an item from this sub-menu, move the

mouse to the right, into the sub-menu, and then vertically

over the desired item. Releasing the mouse button will ac-

tivate the selected function.

Using a keyboard: You can also select the active window’s

menu using alt, and step through the menus in the usual

way using cursor left and cursor right (or by hitting the

typewriter keys for the underlined letters) to select the one

you want. You then use cursor down and cursor up to se-

lect the menu entry you want (or carry out the menu func-

tion immediately by hitting the key for the letter under-

lined in the menu function’s name).

If you encounter a hierarchical entry (which has a triangle

at the end of the entry line), you can use cursor right to ac-

cess the sub-entries (cursor left closes the sub-menu

again) and, again, use cursor down/up to make your selec-

tion.

When you have chosen your function, hit return to acti-

vate it.

Fixed key commands: Some menu functions can be ac-

cessed via fixed keystrokes or combinations of keystrokes.

The keys (or combinations thereof) are shown on-screen
