Operation Manual

THE SEQUENCER
55
D To solo a track, click the corresponding Solo (S) button.
This mutes all other (unsoloed) tracks. Soloed tracks have green S buttons. To
turn solo off, click the green Solo button again.
Here, the track Redrum 1 is soloed (indicated by a green S button).
Several tracks can be soloed at the same time, in which case you can turn off Solo
for all of them by clicking the “master” S button at the top of the track list.
! Note that you can also mute individual note lanes on a track - see “Mut-
ing note lanes”.
Moving tracks
D To move a track to another position in the list, click on the track handle
(the leftmost area of the track) so that it goes dark and drag the track up
or down.
Just like when moving devices in the rack a red insertion line is shown indicating
where the track will be placed when releasing the mouse. All clips on all lanes of
the track will be moved along with the track.
You can use the same technique to move several selected tracks at once. Use stan-
dard [Shift]-select or use [Ctrl] (Win)/[Command] (Mac) to select non-adjacent
tracks.
! The order of the tracks in the sequencer is independent of the device or-
der in the rack.
Duplicating/copying tracks and devices
As it is not possible for a specific instance of a device to have more than one track,
you cannot copy or duplicate tracks. These operations will instead duplicate/copy
both the track (including all clips on the track) and its associated device (and all of its
settings). The duplicated/copied device is really just like a separate device but with
the same name and settings as the original device although its name will have the ex-
tension “Copy” to differentiate it from the original.
To make copies of tracks and their associated devices, complete with all lanes and re-
corded clips, use any of the following methods:
D Hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows), click on the track handle
and drag the selected track(s) to a new position in the track list.
This will not only copy the track(s) and its contents but also create a duplicate of
the device(s) connected to the copied track(s).
D Bring up the context menu for the track and select “Duplicate Devices
and Tracks”.
To bring up the context menu, [Ctrl]-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the
track in the track list. The duplicate track will be added below the original track.
D You can also select “Copy Devices and Tracks” from the context menu.
This allows you to insert the copied track/device by selecting “Paste” from the
context menu. The copied track will be pasted below the currently selected track.
! Note that a duplicated/copied device will not have auto-routed audio
connections. To hear the device, flip the rack around and connect the au-
dio outputs to an available mixer channel. You might also want to mute
the original track to avoid double notes.
✪ You can also move whole note lanes or individual clips to other tracks - if
you wish to play existing clips using a different device this is the way to
go - see “Selecting/moving note lanes”.
Deleting tracks
D To delete one or several tracks, select them and then select “Delete
Track” from the context menu (you can also select this from the Edit
menu).
The tracks will be deleted without a warning but you can always use the undo
function. See “Undo”.
You can also choose to delete tracks together with their associated devices:
D To delete one or several tracks, select them and then select “Delete
Track and Device” from the context menu (you can also select this from
the Edit menu).
A dialog will appear allowing you to proceed or cancel the operation.
Creating tracks
As described earlier, tracks are automatically created for devices that receive notes.
But for those devices (e.g. effects) that do not automatically get tracks, or if you have
deleted a track for an existing device, you need to manually create them:
