WORKING WITH BLOCKS IN THE SEQUENCER

Arranging clips in the Block View
Arranging clips in the Block View is done in the same ways as when arranging clips in the Song View.
! Any clips, or parts of clips, to the right of the End Marker in the Block View will be ignored when the Block is
played back in the Song View.
Refer to “Arranging in the Sequencer”.
Arranging Blocks in the Song View
Once you are finished with your clips on the tracks and lanes in the Block View, it is time to arrange the Blocks to
build up your song in the Song View. Setting up the Blocks and their playing order is done by creating Block Automa-
tion Clips on the Blocks Track in the Song Arrange view.
The following section describes functions and routines that are specific to Block Automation Clips. General clip han-
dling procedures (e.g. naming, coloring etc.) are described in the general “Clip handling” section.
Creating Block Automation Clips
A Block Automation Clip is very similar to a Pattern Clip (for a Redrum device, for example). A Block Automation Clip
defines which Block should play back, and for how long. To create Block Automation Clips, proceed as follows:
1. Click the Song button to switch to the Song View.
2. Select the Pencil tool.
The Block selector appears in the Inspector:
3. Select desired Block (1-32) from the Block Selector List.
In this example, we will use Block 1.
