The Edit mode
The Edit mode allows you to edit events inside a clip. This is where you perform de-
tailed editing of note and automation events.
D To select Edit mode, click the Edit/Arrange mode button in the top left
corner of the sequencer area.
Edit mode selected with a note clip open for editing.
You can also toggle between Arrange mode and Edit mode by pressing [Shift]-
[Tab] or [Command]/[Ctrl]+[E].
Selecting what to edit
The Edit mode always shows the contents of a single track (or for a single note lane
on a track) at a time. Only one note lane can have edit focus at a time.
D If one track is selected when you enter Edit mode, that track contents will
be shown.
All clips on this note lane will be shown and available for editing but no clips will be
open, and the clip events will be grayed out. To be able to edit or draw notes or au-
tomation events, you need to open a clip, as described below.
D If the track has multiple note lanes it will show the contents of the cur-
rently selected note lane.
To switch between note lanes, click on the note lane handle.
D You can change track at any time, by clicking in the track list.
This way you can stay in Edit mode and select different tracks and note lanes for
editing, without having to go back to Arrange mode.
D Double-clicking a automation clip will open it for editing in Arrange
mode which is convenient for quick editing of a single parameter.
All track parameter automation clips for a track are shown and can be edited in
Edit mode. How to edit automation is described on page 85.
