CONDUCTOR TRACK
715
You can help avoid partial measures by leaving the
Smart Selections command in the Edit menu
checked when you are editing the Conductor track.
Correcting unwanted partial measures
It is important to remember that meter changes
only affect the way data is displayed; they never
affect the MIDI data itself or the way it sounds
when it is played back. If the meter map for a
sequence or song becomes complex or confusing
during editing, simply erase the meter changes and
re-enter them from the start of the region. See
“Erasing the meter map to start over” on page 729.
Another way to remove partial measures is to use
the Fix partial measures automatically preference.
See “Getting rid of partial measures” on page 730.
Looping and the Conductor track
The Conductor track cannot be looped. If you need
to repeat tempo or meter changes in a looped
region, use the Repeat command from the Edit
menu to make consecutive copies of the Conductor
track over that region.
When using the Memory Cycle feature to play a
section repeatedly, meter and tempo changes in the
conductor track will play as usual. When doing so,
it is often useful to switch tempo control in the
Control Panel to the Tempo slider. Doing so
temporarily disables tempo changes so that they
don’t complicate recording.
