MANAGING THE RACK
55
Note that the mixer channel tape strips show the name of the device directly
connected to the mixer! This means that if you have an instrument device routed
through an insert effect, the mixer channel tape strip will show the name of the
insert effect device (as this is the device directly connected to the mixer chan-
nel). In this case, you may want to rename the insert effect device, to indicate the
connected instrument.
The relation between device names and track names
When you create an instrument device, it automatically gets a track in the se-
quencer, with the same default name. Renaming a device will also rename the
corresponding sequencer track, and vice versa, if the following conditions are
met:
• The device and its track has the same name.
• There is only one track connected to the device.
Often, having the same name for the device and the track is the most practical
arrangement, since it makes it easier to keep track of which track plays what.
Should you want to rename the track or device independently, you need to dis-
connect the track from the device, rename and connect it again. How to connect
a track to a device is described on page 62.
Folding and Unfolding
If you don’t need to make settings for a device, you can fold it to make the rack
more manageable and avoid having to scroll a lot. This is done by clicking the ar-
row to the left of the device.
To unfold the device, click the arrow again.
D In rack rows with devices of smaller width, the fold/unfold arrow is
placed to the left of the leftmost device and affects all devices in
the row.
D If you hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and click the ar-
row of an unfolded device, all devices in the rack will be folded.
Conversely, [Option]/[Alt]-clicking the arrow of a folded device will unfold all
devices.
D For folded devices, no parameters are shown and you cannot make
routing adjustments on the backside of the rack as long as the de-
vices are folded.
However, if you want to make a connection to a folded device, you can drag
a cable to it and hold it there for a moment. This will cause the folded device
to automatically unfold and let you make the connection.
D Folded devices can be renamed, moved, duplicated and deleted just
like unfolded devices.
D For devices that use patches, you can select patches in folded mode
as well.
D Playback is not affected by folding.
