 Each object can be moved in any way in the arranger with the mouse;
horizontally on a track as well as vertically between tracks. Drag the drum loop
to the first track and all the way to the left (at the beginning).
 Next, the sample will be looped, i.e. the short object will be played over and
over. Click the audio object's handle at the lower right and drag it to the right
as far as you imagine you will need for the first part of your song - probably 8
bars or so. The object will be properly placed on the first 8 bars of the first
track.
 Make sure that the playback range is as long as the extended sample - 8 bars
in our example. To do so, click above and to the right in the timeline and drag
out the playback range to match the length of the looped object.
 Now press the play button (space bar is faster). The drum sample will loop for
8 bars. This means that the playback cursor starts right at the front, moves
across the playback range, and then transfers to the start again once the end
is reached without any interruptions. You can also move the playback marker
independent of the playback range by clicking on the lower section of the
timeline.
Note: All additional loops can be previewed during playback and inserted. This
lets you preview new potentially interesting samples for your arrangement to
test if they work. If continuous playback gets on your nerves after a while, then
you can always interrupt it by pressing the space bar again.
 Next, try loading a suitable bass line. Open up the bass folder, test some of
the bass samples there, and then drag a bass loop you like onto the second
arranger track.
