THE SEQUENCER
15
Editing in the Arrange
View
The Arrange View allows you to view several tracks at the same time, and pro-
vides a good overview of the song. This view is best suited for large-scale edit-
ing, such as rearranging blocks of music, adding or removing bars or applying
quantizing and editing functions to events on different tracks at the same time.
D To select the Arrange View, click the Arrange/Edit View button in
the top left corner of the sequencer area.
You can also toggle between Arrange View and Edit View by pressing
[Shift]-[Tab] or [Command]/[Ctrl]-[E].
!
On the following pages we will use the word “event” as a collective
name for notes, controller changes and pattern changes.
!
The procedures below apply to separate events in the Arrange
View. Some techniques are different for Grouped events, as de-
scribed on page 18.
Selecting Events
Each track in the Arrange View is divided vertically into three “lanes”, in which
events are shown as thin vertical lines. The top lane shows notes (including
drum notes and REX slices) in red, the middle lane shows pattern changes in
yellow and the lower lane shows controller value changes in blue.
To select events in the Arrange view, click and drag a selection rectangle.
D If Snap is activated, the selection rectangle will be magnetic to the
Snap value.
D You can drag a selection rectangle covering only one lane, thereby
selecting only the notes, pattern changes or controllers.
You can also draw a selection rectangle covering several tracks.
D If you hold down [Shift] when you select events, any already se-
lected events remain selected.
This allows you to make multiple, non-contiguous selections: first select
some events, then press [Shift] and select some more events, and so on.
D You can also use the “Select All” function on the Edit menu.
This selects all events, controllers and pattern changes in the song.
D The selection you make in the Arrange View will be maintained if
you select the Edit View.
See page 23.
D To de-select events, just click anywhere in an empty area.
Moving Events
To move the selected events, click in the selection, and drag and drop it on a
new position.
D When you move the selection, it is “magnetic” to the lanes.
That is, you cannot drag notes to a controller lane, etc.
D If you hold down [Shift] and drag, movement is restricted to hori-
zontal or vertical only.
D If Snap is activated, you will only be able to drop the selection so
that it maintains its relative distance to the Snap value positions.
