The arranger track
In the Options section you can make further settings. The
available options are:
3. You can now flatten the arranger track by clicking the
Flatten button.
If you realize that you want to do further arrangements, you can click the
“Go Back” button and make your adjustments. Your Flattening settings
will be kept.
4. Click the “Go Back” button to go back to the Arranger
Editor or close the window by clicking its Close button.
Live mode
If you have set up an arranger track and play it back, you
have also the possibility to influence the playback order
“live”. Note that the Arranger mode has to be activated to
be able to use the Live mode.
1. Set up an arranger chain in the Inspector or in the Ar-
ranger Editor for an arranger track, activate the Arranger
mode and play back your project.
Now you can use your arranger events listed in the lower section of the
Inspector to play back your project in Live mode.
2. Switch into Live mode by clicking on the little arrow in
the lower list of the Inspector to the left of the arranger
event you want to trigger.
The arranger event will be looped endlessly, until you click on another ar-
ranger event. This might be useful, for example, if you want to loop a gui-
tar solo with a flexible length.
In the Jump Mode pop-up menu, you can define how long
the active arranger event will be played, before jumping to
the next one. The following options are available:
Option Description
Keep Arranger
Track
If you activate this option, the arranger track will be kept
when flattening the arranger chain. Activate “Rename
Arranger Events” to append a number to the events, ac
-
cording to their use. For example, if you use arranger
event “A” two times, the first occurrence will be renamed
“A 1” and the second “A 2”.
Make Real
Event Copies
Normally, you will get shared copies when flattening the
arranger track. If you activate this option, real copies will
be created instead.
Don’t Split
Events
If this option is activated, MIDI notes that start before or
are longer than the arranger event will not be included.
Only MIDI notes that begin and end inside the arranger
event boundaries will be taken into account.
Open New
Projects
If you activate this option, a new project will be created
for every flattened arranger chain. If you activate the
“Cascade New Projects” option the opened projects will
be cascaded.
Option Description
None Jumps to the next section immediately.
4 bars,
2
bars
When one of these modes is selected, a grid of 4 or 2 bars (de-
pending on the setting) will be placed on the active arranger
event. Whenever the respective grid line is reached, playback
will jump to the next arranger event. An example:
Let’s say you have an arranger event which is 8 bars long and
the grid is set to 4 bars. When the cursor is anywhere within the
first 4 bars of the arranger event when you hit the next arranger
event, playback will jump to the next event when the end of the
fourth bar of the arranger event is reached. When the cursor is
anywhere within the last 4 bars of the arranger event, playback
will jump to the next event at the end of the event.
When an event is shorter than 4 (or 2) bars and this mode is se-
lected, playback will jump to the next section at the event end.
1 bar Jumps to the next section at the next bar line.
