Instrument device specifics
The following additional methods can be used for creating Instrument devices:
D Click the “Create Instrument...” button on the “Device Palette” tab in the Tool Window, or select “Create Instru-
ment...” from the Create menu.
This will bring up the Patch Browser from which you can choose an Instrument patch to load in its corresponding
device - see “Create Instrument/Create Effect”.
! You can only create Instrument devices using the “Create Instrument...” button - not mixers or effects devices.
• If you have created an Instrument device, a new sequencer track will be automatically created. The instrument
device will also be automatically connected to an available mixer channel.
The track will be given the same name as the created Instrument device. Master Keyboard Input will also automat-
ically be set to the new track, allowing you to immediately play the created Instrument device via MIDI (see “Master
Keyboard Input”).
! By default, the automatic creation of a sequencer track only applies to instrument devices, not to mixers or ef-
fect devices.
• If you hold down [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) when you create an Instrument device (except when you drag and
drop from the Tool Window), a sequencer track will not be created.
• If you hold down [Shift] when you create an Instrument device, there will be no automatic routing or connec-
tions made.
Effect devices specifics
The following additional method can be used for creating Effects devices:
D Select “Create Effect...” from the Create menu.
This will bring up the Patch Browser from which you can choose an FX Combinator patch to load in a Combinator
device - see “Create Instrument/Create Effect”.
The results when creating Effect devices depend on the following criteria:
• If an Instrument device was selected when you created an effect device, the effect device will be added and
connected as an “insert effect”, after the Instrument device.
• If a Mixer 14:2 or Line Mixer 6:2 was selected when you created an effect, the effect device will be added and
connected as a Send Effect, on the first available Send FX connectors of the mixer device.
• If you hold down [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) when you create an effect device (except when you drag and drop
from the Tool Window), a sequencer track will be created for the device.
• If you hold down [Shift] when you create an effect device, it will not be connected.
Mixer device specifics
• If you hold down [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) when you create a mixer device (except when you drag and drop
from the Tool Window), a sequencer track will be created for the mixer device.
