THE SEQUENCER

Inserting and Removing Bars
When editing the overall structure of a song, you may need to rearrange the order and
length of whole sections (e.g. make the “verse” two bars shorter, add a few bars to
the intro, etc.). On the Edit menu or sequencer context menu you will find two useful
functions for this:
Insert Bars Between Locators
This function inserts an empty area between the locators. All clips that intersect the
locator positions on all tracks after the left locator are split and moved to the right to
“make room” for the inserted area.
Remove Bars Between Locators
This function removes all material between the locators. All clips that intersect the lo-
cator positions on all tracks after the left locator are split and moved to the left to “fill
out” the gap after the removed section.
Clip color
D You can color selected clips independently from track color by selecting
“Clip Color” from the Edit menu and then choosing a color from the sub-
menu.
All selected clips will get the selected color. If you record new clips on the lane,
the set Track color applies.
Editing automation clips in Arrange mode
Double-clicking an automation clip opens it for editing, but unlike note clips you will
stay in Arrange mode and not switch over to Edit mode. This is convenient if you only
want to edit the automation events for one specific parameter. How to edit the auto-
mation is identical to how it’s done in Edit mode - see page 85 for a description of
this.
To close an open automation clip in Arrange mode click outside it (in another lane) or
press Return or Escape.
Other editing functions in Arrange mode
You can also apply quantizing (see page 89) and use the edit functions on the Tool
window - Tools page (see page 89) in Arrange mode. This is useful since it allows you
to edit clips on several tracks in one go.
D You can select one or several tracks and have quantizing or other Tools
page edit functions apply to all notes in all clips on the selected tracks.
Selecting several tracks is done by [Shift]-clicking in the track list. The Tool win-
dow - Tools page edit functions are described on page 89.
