Window Types
There are two different types of window in MAGIX midi
studio generation 6: normal windows and float windows.
The contents of all the windows belonging to the current
song are always updated, no matter what the type of win-
dow.
Normal Windows: You can open as many normal win-
dows as you want, including several of the same type. Even
though the contents of all the windows is constantly up-
dated, only one of the windows ever has the status of being
the “top”, or “active” window. This is the window which is
in the foreground when several normal windows are over-

Top or Active Window: This window can be recognized by
its fully-shaded title list. The main distinguishing charac-

this window, and not any of the others. Windows > Next
Window (ctrl+tab) brings the next window forward if it is
fully covered up by others.

your “Appearance settings in Windows. You bring the
window to the foreground by clicking on it, clicking on the
title bar, or calling up one of the local menu functions.
