Chapter 3 Arrange Window 99
Selecting an Instrument
Click-holding on an Instrument’s name (or icon) in the Track List opens a hierarchical
pull-down menu. The sub menus of this pull-down menu correspond to the
Environment layers (see “Layers” on page 154) of your song. This is where you select
and assign Instruments to a track.
Changing an Instrument Assignment Globally
If you hold down Option while selecting an Instrument, the previously selected
Instrument will be replaced in every track in the current song by the new Instrument
(even in tracks in folders).
Selecting Track Instruments by Drag and Drop
You can select any of the Objects in the Environment window to be the current track
Instrument, by simply dragging one out of the Environment window, and dropping it
onto the Track List.
If you move a Multi Instrument into the Track List, the selected sub-channel is set as the
track Instrument. If no sub-channel is selected, all initialized (the sub-channels that are
not crossed out) sub-channels are set for the destination track, and the tracks below
that. If there are no tracks below the destination track, new tracks will be created.
In all cases, the Environment Objects involved are completely unaltered.
Special Types of Instruments
In addition to the normal instruments which are described in the Instruments section
(see “MIDI Instruments” on page 101), there are two other possible track settings for
which there is no corresponding Environment Object:
No Output
Tracks assigned as No Output send no data. This can be useful in situations where you
wish to store data (such as SysEx) that you don’t wish to send.
Folder
This setting is used when you want the track to play a folder (see “Overview” on
page 122). Normal Regions will not play on a track set to the Folder instrument.
Protecting Tracks
Tracks can be protected, preventing any alterations:
• Existing Regions and their contents cannot be altered.
• No recording is possible on protected tracks.
• New Regions cannot be created.
