THE COMBINATOR1313
Combinator handling
Moving the entire Combi
This works much the same as for other devices in the rack.
D Select the Combinator by clicking on the Control panel background and dragging to a new position.
An outline of the Combinator is shown when you drag, and an orange line shows the insert position. All connec-
tions are kept.
Moving devices within a Combi
Just as for devices in the rack, an outline of the devices is shown when you drag, and an orange line shows the insert
position. All connections are kept.
Moving devices out of a Combi
If you move devices out of a Combi the following applies:
D The routing in the Combinator is unchanged, and the External Routing indicator is likely to light up.
If you press [Shift] when dragging, the device(s) will attempt to auto-route to the rack according to standard rules.
Deleting devices in a Combi
This works exactly as for devices in the rack.
D Select the device and then either select “Delete Devices and Tracks” from the Edit menu or context menu, or
press [Backspace].
Uncombining devices
You can uncombine a whole Combi or selected devices within a Combi in the following way:
D If you select a Combinator and then select “Uncombine” from the Edit/context menu, the Combinator device
will be removed, and all devices contained in the Combi will be moved to the rack.
The devices previously connected to the To/From Devices connectors will now be connected to the rack in the
same way the Combinator device was (via the Combinator output and input).
D If you uncombine a few selected devices in a Combi these will be removed from the Combi and added to the
rack below the Combi.
Connections are unchanged, so external routing is likely to happen.
Sequencer tracks and playing Combis
When you create a Combinator device, a sequencer track is automatically created. This track is also given Master
Keyboard Input just like standard instrument devices.
D When the Combinator track receives incoming MIDI data, this will be routed to all instrument devices in an in-
strument Combi.
This means that the devices will be layered when you play (taking default velocity and key ranges into account).
D You can turn off MIDI Note reception and/or selected Performance controller data for individual instrument
devices on the Editor panel.
See “Key Mapping instrument devices” for details.
