THE SEQUENCER

Editing in the Arrange View
The Arrange View allows you to view several tracks at the same time, and provides a
good overview of the song. This view is best suited for large-scale editing, such as re-
arranging blocks of music, adding or removing bars or applying quantizing and editing
functions to events on different tracks at the same time.
D To select the Arrange View, click the Arrange/Edit View button in the top
left corner of the sequencer area.
You can also toggle between Arrange View and Edit View by pressing [Shift]-
[Tab] or [Command]/[Ctrl]-[E].
! On the following pages we will use the word “event” as a collective name
for notes, controller changes and pattern changes.
! The procedures below apply to separate events in the Arrange View.
Some techniques are different for Grouped events, as described on page
15.
Selecting Events
Each track in the Arrange View is divided vertically into three “lanes”, in which events
are shown as thin vertical lines. The top lane shows notes (including drum notes and
REX slices) in red, the middle lane shows pattern changes in yellow and the lower
lane shows controller value changes in blue.
To select events in the Arrange view, click and drag a selection rectangle.
D If Snap is activated, the selection rectangle will be magnetic to the Snap
value.
D You can drag a selection rectangle covering only one lane, thereby se-
lecting only the notes, pattern changes or controllers.
You can also draw a selection rectangle covering several tracks.
D If you hold down [Shift] when you select events, any already selected
events remain selected.
This allows you to make multiple, non-contiguous selections: first select some
events, then press [Shift] and select some more events, and so on.
D You can also use the “Select All” function on the Edit menu.
This selects all events, controllers and pattern changes in the song.
D The selection you make in the Arrange View will be maintained if you se-
lect the Edit View.
See page 20.
D To de-select events, just click anywhere in an empty area.
Moving Events
To move the selected events, click in the selection, and drag and drop it on a new po-
sition.
D When you move the selection, it is “magnetic” to the lanes.
That is, you cannot drag notes to a controller lane, etc.
D If you hold down [Shift] and drag, movement is restricted to horizontal or
vertical only.
D If Snap is activated, you will only be able to drop the selection so that it
maintains its relative distance to the Snap value positions.
See page 11.
Duplicating Events
To duplicate the selected events, hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows) and
proceed as when moving events.
D You can also use the Duplicate Track function on the Edit menu or the
track context menu.
This creates a copy of the selected track, complete with all events. The duplicated
track will appear below the original track in the track list.
