see the Arranger track in the Project window, and click in
the arrow column for the event at the top of the list so that
the arrow becomes blue.

specified in the Arranger chain.
3. Activate playback, either from the Arranger Editor or
on the Transport panel.
The events are played back in the specified order.

[Shift]-clicking as usual.
• Drag events to move them in the list.
• Drag events while holding [Alt]/[Option] to create cop-
ies of the selected items.
The insert location for both move and copy operations is indicated by a
blue or red line in the list. A blue line indicates that the move or copy is

chain to move the playback position to the start of that
