ARRANGING IN THE SEQUENCER
171
• If you have only recorded standard performance controllers (Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel and Sustain pedal) in the
note clip, these will usually translate without any problems when moved to another device track.
Be aware that all devices do not respond to all performance controllers - the Malström device (Record+Reason),
for example, does not respond to Aftertouch, Expression or Breath performance controller data.
• If you have recorded non-standard controller parameters for a device in the note clip using the “Record Auto-
mation into Note Clip” option (see “Recording parameter automation into Note Clips”) some automated pa-
rameters may not have an equivalent parameter in the target device.
In such cases the automation data for an incompatible controller will simply be ignored.
• Parameters common to most instrument devices (filters, envelopes etc.) will be transferred to the target device
whenever applicable.
About overlapping clips
If you move or resize clips so that the clips overlap each other, the following rules apply:
• Clips or sections of clips that are hidden (overlapped) will not play back.
Any lane can only play back a single clip at a time - if you want to mix two clips, put them on separate lanes (note
clips) or on separate tracks (audio clips). See “Adding note lanes” and “Duplicating/copying tracks and devices”.
• The clip with the latest start position have priority (and will be played back).
This means if a shorter clip is placed “in the middle” of a longer clip, as in the picture below, the sequencer will play
the beginning of the long clip, then the shorter overlapping clip and then the end of the long clip.
! If both clips start at the same position and have the same length, the clip which was moved last will sound.
Consequently, the “hidden” clip won’t play back at all.
Duplicating clips
D To duplicate selected clips, hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Option](Mac), then click with the Selection Tool and drag
a copy of the clip(s) to the desired destination.
As you begin dragging, the cursor displays a “+” sign next to it to indicate duplication.
• It’s also possible to duplicate only a part of one or several clips by using the Razor Tool as described in “Dupli-
cating a part of one or several clips”
Cutting, Copying and Pasting clips
You can move or duplicate clips using the “Cut”, “Copy” and “Paste” commands on the Edit menu or the context
menu. When you paste, the clips will end up at the current song position, on their original lane(s).
If you paste a clip into another Record song document, the pasted clip will be placed on the track with edit focus, if
possible. Typically, you can just select a track in the other document, place the song position pointer where you want,
and paste the clip(s) onto the selected track.
New tracks will be created when necessary. Since all tracks must have a device associated with them, the new tracks
will be associated with empty Combinator devices. You can then use the Patch browser on the Combinator to select
a suitable patch and device type. The above rules also apply when pasting alien clips and parameter automation clips.
