WORKING WITH THE RACK
323
1. Select a track in the sequencer Track List rack and choose “Select All” from the Edit menu or track context
menu.
Tracks are marked with darker colors to indicate they’ve been selected.
2. Select “Sort Selected Device Groups” from the Edit menu or track context menu.
Now all Device Groups and channel strips in the Main Mixer will be automatically re-ordered according to the cur-
rent track configuration in the sequencer. The topmost sequencer track will have its associated Device Group
moved to the top in the rack. The remaining Device Groups will be re-ordered according to the remaining track or-
der in the Track List. The Main Mixer channel strips will also be re-ordered according to the sequencer track order.
• If you have devices in several rack columns, the sorting will begin in the leftmost rack column and continue to
the right through the rest of the rack columns. The number of devices in each rack column will not be changed.
• If you select several Device Groups in the rack and choose “Sort Selected Device Groups” from the Edit menu
or device context menu, the tracks in the sequencer and the Main Mixer channel strips will be re-ordered ac-
cording to the current Device Group order in the rack.
• If you select several channel strips in the Main Mixer and choose “Sort Selected Device Groups” from the Edit
menu or channel strip context menu, the Device Groups in the rack and the tracks in the sequencer will be re-
ordered according to the current channel strip order in the Main Mixer.
Replacing devices
If you want to replace an Instrument, Effect or Player device in the rack with another device of the same category,
proceed as follows:
1. Bring up the Device Palette in the Browser for the desired device type (Instruments, Effects or Players).
! Utility devices cannot be replaced using these methods!
2. Drag the desired device from the Device Palette to the rack and place on top of the device you want to replace.
The device to be replaced is dimmed in orange and gets a “replace” symbol in the center:
Replacing a Subtractor with a PX7 FM Synthesizer device.
3. Release the mouse button to replace the device in the rack.
The new device is automatically routed like the previous device. The Mix Channel now also gets the name of the
current patch in the new device. The new device also gets “browse focus” in the Browser, see “Loading patches”.
D You can also drag and drop devices on existing device icons in the Sequencer Track List. The result is exactly
the same as dropping devices on existing devices in the rack.
