Figure 20-3: The Sequence menu lets you display a different sequence
in the Tracks window.
Using the Window Target to switch sequences
You can also use the Tracks window Window
Target menu to change which sequence is
displayed. To do so, just click the sequence name in
the title bar’s Window Target menu as shown below.
Note, however, that this method of switching
sequences is slightly different than using the
Sequence menu as described above because it
doesn’t play-enable the sequence; it only switches
the display. If you want to hear the sequence you are
switching to, use the Sequence menu.
Figure 20-4: You can also switch the sequence being displayed in a
Tracks window by clicking the Window Target menu.
Creating new sequences in the Tracks window
When you choose New from the File menu to
create a new Digital Performer project, the newly
created project that appears on your screen
contains a single empty sequence named “Seq-1”,
which is displayed in the Tracks window. You can
use the Sequence menu to create other new
sequences. Just choose either New Sequence or
Copy Selection to New Sequence (as explained in
“Making a new, separate sequence based on the
current selection” on page 162.)
Figure 20-5: The Sequence menu also provides commands for creat-
ing, naming, and deleting sequences, as well as copying the current
selection to its own, new sequence or V-Rack.
Renaming and deleting a sequence in the
Tracks window
The Sequence menu shown above lets you also
rename or delete any sequence. Just choose the
sequence by name from the menu, and then choose
the desired command.
Making a new, separate sequence based on the
current selection
The Copy Selection to New Sequence command in
the Tracks window Sequences menu (as shown in
Figure 20-5 on page 162) creates a new, separate
sequence based on the current selection. For
details see “Splitting up an existing sequence into
separate chunks” on page 772.
Opening two or more Tracks windows at once
As mentioned earlier, you can freely switch which
sequence is displayed in the Tracks window. If
you’d like, you can also open multiple Tracks
windows so that you can view two or more
sequences at the same time. Just double-click its
name in the Chunks window.
