Deleting tracks
The most common scenario would probably be to delete a track together with its associated device(s). However, it’s
also possible to delete only the track while keeping the associated device(s) in the rack.
Deleting tracks together with their associated devices
D To delete one or several tracks together with their associated devices in the Rack, select the tracks and then
select “Delete Track(s) and Device(s)” from the Edit menu or from the track’s context menu. Alternatively,
press [Delete] or [Backspace].
An alert appears which prompts you to confirm or cancel the deletion of the track(s) and device(s).
! If you're deleting the track for the Source Device, and “Auto-group Devices and Tracks” on the Options menu is
on, you will be asked if you want to delete the whole device group. If you hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac)
while deleting, the whole device group will be deleted without the alert.
See “About Device Groups” for more information about device groups.
Deleting tracks only
D To delete one or several tracks, select them and then select “Delete Track(s)” from the Edit menu or from the
track’s context menu.
The tracks will be deleted without an alert but you can always use the Undo function. See “Undo and Redo”.
If you have deleted a track for a device and want to create a new track for the device, follow the descriptions in “Cre-
ating a parameter automation track for a non-instrument device”.
Duplicating/copying tracks and devices
As it is not possible for a specific instance of a device to have more than one track, you cannot copy or duplicate only
a track. These operations will instead duplicate/copy both the track (including all clips on the track) and its associ-
ated device(s) (with all settings). The duplicated/copied devices are really just like separate devices but with the
same name and settings as the original devices, although their names will have the extension “Copy” to differentiate
them from the original.
To make copies of tracks and their associated devices, complete with all lanes and recorded clips, use any of the fol-
lowing methods:
! Note that if “Auto-group Devices and Tracks” on the Options menu is on, the entire device group(s) associated
with the track(s) will be copied/duplicated when you perform the procedures described below.
See “About Device Groups” for more information about device groups.
D Hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Option](Mac), click on the track handle and drag the selected track(s) to a new posi-
tion in the track list.
D Select “Duplicate Device(s) and Track(s)” from the Edit menu or from the track’s context menu.
To bring up the context menu, right-click (Win) or [Ctrl]-click (Mac) on the track in the Track List. The duplicated
track(s) will be inserted below the original track.
D Select “Copy Device(s) and Track(s)” from the Edit menu or from the track’s context menu.
This allows you to insert the copied track(s) and device(s) by selecting “Paste” from the Edit menu or from the
track’s context menu. The copied track(s) will be pasted below the currently selected track.
! Note that if “Auto-group Devices and Tracks” on the Options menu is off, duplicated/copied devices will not
have auto-routed audio connections. To hear the duplicated devices, select the device and choose “Auto-route
Device” on the Edit menu or context menu. Alternatively, flip the rack around and connect the audio outputs to
available devices. You might also want to mute the original track to avoid double notes.
q If you hold down [Shift] and select Paste from the Edit menu or context menu, the copied device(s) will be
auto-routed to an available mixer channel.
