Main Menu Window: MAGIX midi studio generation 6
Main Menu window is the main window of the program.
You will find all menu items here. There are:
– Global Menus, which are always visible (e.g. File);
– Window related menus: they belong to a certain
window type (e.g. Score Window) and are only visible
when this window type is the active window. It only
contains functions relevant for the corresponding
window type.
As is common on Windows computers, you can address a
menu using using the alt key. Keep this window at its pre-
set maximized size, there isn’t much point in making it
smaller.

tween MAGIX midi studio generation 6 and other appli-

tion 6 at any time by clicking the MAGIX midi studio

Relationships between Windows
The two buttons at the top left of a window (shown here),
determine its relationship to the song position (Catch), or
to other windows (Link, Show Contents, or Contents
Catch).
Catch: The Catch function means that the visible section
of a window follows the song position as the song plays.
If the button with the walking man on it is lit (i.e. if it is
green), the window’s display follows the song position as
the song plays. If the button is not lit, the display does not
update, even when the song position line moves past the
right edge of the visible portion of the window(Catch Clock
Position).
Automatic Catch Disabling: If you move the visible section
manually, Catch is automatically switched off, so that the
new section you have chosen doesn’t then disappear, as
the display is updated to the song position line.
Autocatch: The function Enable Catch when Sequencer starts
(Options > Settings > Global Preferences…) always en-
ables Catch mode whenever you press play or pause.
