Setting Master Keyboard Input
D To set Master Keyboard Input to a track and its associated device, click the device icon in the Track List.
Master Keyboard Input set to an instrument track
The device icon gets a keyboard symbol below it and a red border, indicating that the track and associated device
has Master Keyboard Input. The track and device will now respond to incoming MIDI data from a connected MIDI
keyboard/control surface. By default, setting Master Keyboard Input also automatically selects the track, which is
indicated by the darker color of the track in the Track List.
It’s also possible to set Master Keyboard Input and track selection independently from each other by selecting
“Separated” on the “Keyboards and Control Surfaces” page in Preferences - see “Preferences – Keyboards and
Control Surfaces”.
• Only one track at a time can have Master Keyboard Input. However, if you have locked additional MIDI key-
boards to specific devices in the rack via Remote (see
“Locking a surface”), you will be able to play and record
these together with the track that has Master Keyboard Input.
The relationship between tracks, lanes, clips and events
A track is the top level in the sequencer Track List hierarchy. A track can consist of one or several parallel lanes. A
lane can contain clips, which in turn can contain note events, performance controller events, parameter automation
events or pattern events, depending on track type.
An instrument track with four note lanes featuring clips with note events.
• A device in the rack can never have more than one track in the sequencer.
• A clip is a “container” for various types of events (note, performance controller, parameter automation or pat-
tern events).
