Creating tracks
Creating an instrument track
To create an instrument track, you need only create the instrument device. An instrument track is automatically cre-
ated when you create a device which can receive MIDI notes:
1. Select desired instrument type from the “Create” menu.
Alternatively, to select an Instrument patch and automatically load the patch into the appropriate device type, hold
down [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and press [I], or select “Create Instrument” from the “Create” menu to bring up the
Patch Browser. Under Windows, you can also press [Insert] to open the Patch Browser. In the Patch Browser you
can select and preview patches before loading them into the instrument.
D Alternatively, drag and drop or double-click the desired instrument device from the “Device Palette” tab on the
Tool Window. Or, to bring up the Patch Browser, click the “Create Instrument” button on the “Device Palette”
tab.
2. An instrument device is created in the rack and the associated track is automatically created in the sequencer.
Creating a parameter automation track for a non-instrument device
For non-instrument devices, such as effects devices, you need to manually create a track if you want to record pa-
rameter automation. You can do that either by following the description below or by following either of the two last
descriptions in “Creating/adding parameter automation lanes”.
The track creation procedure described below also applies if you have manually deleted a track for an instrument de-
vice and want to create a new track for the device:
1. Select the device by clicking on it in the rack.
A border around a device in the Rack indicates that it has been selected.
2. Select ”Create Track for (name of device)” from the Edit menu or the device context menu.
! Note that if a track already exists for the device, this menu item will not be available - a device can only have
one track.
• The new track will be automatically associated with the device and will get the same name as the device.
D Another way of creating a parameter automation track is by holding [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) and clicking
on a parameter on the device panel. Alternatively, select “Edit Automation” from the parameter context menu.
q If you press [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) when you create a non-instrument device, this will automatically create
an associated automation track for the device.
