The Arranger track
• Click in the Mode field for an event and select the de-
sired repeat mode.
When you now play back the Arranger chain, you will hear
the complete arrangement. Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that Arranger mode is activated.
When Arranger mode is activated, the project will be played back using
the Arranger settings.
2. Position the Arranger Editor window so that you can
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.
You should see the project cursor jump to the beginning of the first event
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.
Editing the Arranger chain
In the Arranger chain on the left, you can do the following:
• Select multiple events by [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking or
[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
possible; a red line indicates that if the current position were to be used,
a move or copy is not allowed.
• Use the Repeats column to specify how many times
each event should be repeated.
• Click the arrow to the left of an event in the Arranger
chain to move the playback position to the start of that
event.
• To remove an event from the list, right-click on it and se-
lect “Remove Touched” from the context menu. To remove
several events, select them, right-click and select “Re-
move Selected”.
Navigating
To navigate between arranger events, you use the Arran-
ger transport buttons:
These controls are available in the Arranger Editor, on the
Project window toolbar, and on the Transport panel.
In the Arranger Editor, the event that is currently played
back is indicated by an arrow in the leftmost column, and
the indicators in the Counter column.
Managing Arranger chains
You can create several Arranger chains. This way, you can
create alternative versions for playback. In the Arranger
Editor, the toolbar buttons on the right are used for this:
