30 Clips Window
OVERVIEW
The Clips window is a dynamic, interactive
environment for triggering audio and MIDI clips
during live performance. You can prepare any
number of MIDI and audio clips and then
individually trigger them during playback. If you
enable the queue, you can cue up any number of
clips in advance to play consecutively. You can also
set up and trigger scenes, which consist of multiple
clips arranged in a single row for simultaneous
triggering. The Clip Editor lets you view, edit and
create clips. You can also copy and paste track
material to make clips, or drag and drop them from
the Soundbites window or Content Browser.
