THE SEQUENCER
22
D The Hand tool can be used for scrolling the view.
Just click, hold and drag in the desired direction.
D For extensive editing, you may want to detach the sequencer area
from the rack and use it in a separate window.
This is done either by clicking the Detach Sequencer button in the rack or by
selecting “Detach Sequencer Window” from the Windows menu.
To reattach the sequencer, either click the Attach Sequencer button (in the rack
or in the detached sequencer window) or select “Attach Sequencer Window”
from the Windows menu.
D Alternatively, you can also maximize the sequencer area so that it
fills the rack.
This is done by clicking the Maximize Sequencer button or by holding down
[Command] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Windows) and pressing [2] on the left part of
the computer keyboard.
About the Ruler and the Group strip
At the top of the Edit View you will find the ruler. Just like the ruler in the Arrange
View, this shows meter positions (bars and beats), helping you find the right po-
sitions in the song.
D You can adjust the horizontal zoom individually for the Edit View
and the Arrange View.
This makes sense, as you will probably work with a larger magnification
when performing fine editing.
Just below the ruler is a narrow empty strip. This shows the Groups (if any) as
colored bars, providing additional means of orientation in the Edit view.
✪ When you edit events within a Group, you will note that the Group
indicator changes color. This is because the color of a Group de-
pends on its contents, as described on page 18.
Drawing and Editing Notes
Notes are drawn and edited in one of three lanes: the Key lane, the Drum lane
and the REX lane:
The Key lane. The piano keyboard to the left indicates the pitch of the notes, covering the
whole MIDI note range (C-2 to G8). Note that the black and white keys are reflected in the
The Detach Sequencer button.
The Maximize Sequencer button.
