The arranger track
Working with arranger events
Editing the arranger chain
In the arranger chain on the left, you can do the following:
• Select multiple events by [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking or [Shift]-clicking as usual.
• Drag events to move them in the list.
• Drag events holding [Alt]/[Option] to create copies of the selected items.
The insert location for both move and copy operations is indicated by a colored
insertion line. A blue line indicates that the move or copy is possible; a red line
indicates that moving or copying events to the current position is not allowed.
• Use the Repeats column to specify how many times each event is to be repeated.
• Click the arrow to the left of an event in the arranger chain to move the playback
position to the start of that event.
• To remove an event from the list, right-click on it and select “Remove Touched”
from the context menu. To remove several events, select them, right-click and
select “Remove Selected”.
Navigating
To navigate between arranger events, you use the arranger transport buttons:
These controls are available in the Arranger Editor, on the Project window toolbar, and
on the Transport panel.
In the Arranger Editor, the event that is currently played back is indicated by an arrow
in the leftmost column, and the indicators in the Counter column.
Managing arranger chains
You can create several arranger chains. This way, you can create alternative versions
for playback. In the Arranger Editor, the toolbar buttons on the right are used for this:
• In the Inspector, these functions are accessed from the Arranger pop-up menu
(opened by clicking on the Arranger name field).
The arranger chains you create will be listed on the Name pop-up menu, found in the
Arranger Editor to the left of the buttons, at the top of the arranger track Inspector,
and in the track list. Please note that to be able to select another arranger chain from
the pop-up menu, the Arranger mode must be activated.
