THE SEQUENCER
80
Drum edit mode. This is divided vertically into note numbers, corresponding to the drum sound
channels on a Redrum device (and named accordingly, if the track is connected to a Redrum device).
Use this for editing drum tracks.
REX edit mode. This is divided vertically into pitches (from C3 and up), corresponding to the slices in
a Dr.Rex loop player device. Use this for editing Dr.Rex tracks.
D In all three modes, the actual notes are shown as “boxes”, with the note
length indicated by the width of the box and the velocity values indicated
by the color of the box (the darker the color, the higher the velocity).
The basic note editing procedures are the same for all three lanes.
About separate Snap values for arranging and editing
There are two different Snap settings, one for when a clip is open for editing, and one
for when no clip is open (e.g. in Arrange mode). Typically, you would set a fine Snap
value (e.g. 1/16) for open clips and have the other Snap value set to “Bar” for conve-
nient arranging. You can also choose to turn Snap off in any of these modes, indepen-
dently of the other setting.
D The Snap value for editing is used whenever a note clip or automation
clip is open (including when an automation clip is opened in Arrange
mode).
However, there’s one exception: If a note clip is open in Edit mode and you click in
the Overview, the clip will remain open but the Snap value for arranging will be se-
lected. This allows you to e.g. move or resize the clip in the Overview just like in Ar-
range mode, without closing it first.

Resizing and Zooming
D You can resize or hide edit lanes by dragging the dividers between them.
D Where applicable, the lanes have individual zoom controls and scroll-
bars.
D The Magnifying Glass tool can be used for zooming in and out.
Click to zoom in, and click while pressing [Option] (Mac)/[Ctrl] (Windows) to
zoom out.
D The Hand tool can be used for scrolling the view in any direction.
Just click, hold and drag in the desired direction.
D For extensive editing, you may want to detach the sequencer area from
the rack and use it in a separate window.
This is done either by clicking the Detach Sequencer button in the rack or by se-
lecting “Detach Sequencer Window” from the Windows menu.
To reattach the sequencer, either click the Attach Sequencer button (in the rack or in
the detached sequencer window) or select “Attach Sequencer Window” from the
Windows menu.
D Alternatively, you can also maximize the sequencer area so that it fills
the rack.
This is done by clicking the Maximize Sequencer button or by holding down [Com-
mand] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows) and pressing [2] on the left part of the computer
keyboard.
