Working with markers in the Time Ruler
The Time Ruler lets you display and edit Markers.
Here is a summary:
Using the View Filter with the Track Overview
The View Filter (Setup menu) allows you to choose
what types of events are displayed in the Track
Overview. For example, if you would momentarily
like to see patch changes only, you can use the View
Filter to temporarily hide all other data types. For
more information about using the View Filter, see
“View Filter” on page 314.
Track copying and transfer via drag & drop
You can drag and drop a Track Overview selection
into the Track List (on the left side of the Tracks
window). Doing so creates a new track (or tracks)
at the bottom of the list.
For example, you can make a selection in the Track
Overview of a source sequence and then drag and
drop it into the Track List of a completely different
destination sequence. When doing so, not only is
the data transferred, but the tracks that contain the
data are copied, too, along with all their settings
(including effects plug-ins).
This allows you to transfer tracks from one
sequence to another. Just make a selection in the
Track Overview (or any edit window) of one
sequence and then drag and drop it into the Track
List (the left-hand side) of the other sequence’s
Tracks w indow.
You can also use this technique to duplicate tracks
— or a portion thereof — within the same
sequence. Just make a selection in the Track
Overview (either a portion of a track or the entire
track — or several tracks), and then drag it into the
Track List.
You can also recreate tracks from clippings, MIDI
file clippings and sequence clippings by dragging
the clipping into the Track List (instead of the Track
Overview). In doing so, the tracks in the clipping
are added to the bottom of the Track List. See
chapter 55, “Clippings” (page 681) for more
information.
