• The Track list area for a MIDI track:
The Inspector
The area to the left of the Track list is called the Inspector.
This shows additional controls and parameters for the track
you have selected in the Track list. If several tracks are se-
lected (see “Handling tracks” on page 40), the Inspector
shows the setting for the first (topmost) selected track.
To hide or show the Inspector, click the Inspector icon in
the toolbar.
The Inspector icon.
• For most track classes, the Inspector is divided into a
number of sections, each containing different controls for
the track. You can hide or show sections by clicking on
their respective names.
Clicking the name for a hidden section brings it into view and hides the
other sections. [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking the section name allows you
to hide or show a section without affecting the other sections. Finally,
[Alt]/[Option]-clicking a section name shows or hides all sections in the
Inspector.
• You can also use key commands to show different In-
spector sections.
These are set up in the Key Commands dialog, see “Setting up key com-
mands” on page 476.
Ö Hiding a section does not affect its functionality.
In other words, if you have set up a track parameter or activated an effect
for example, your settings will still be active even if you hide the respec-
tive Inspector section.
Which sections are available in the Inspector depends on
the selected track.
