Instrument tracks
As explained in the chapter “VST instruments and instru-
ment tracks” on page 206, the Inspector for an instrument
track shows some of the sections from VST instrument
channels and MIDI tracks.
MIDI tracks
When a MIDI track is selected, the Inspector contains a
number of additional sections and parameters, affecting the
MIDI events in realtime (e.
g. on playback). Which sections
are available for MIDI tracks is described in the chapter
“MIDI realtime parameters and effects” on page 348.
Arranger track
For the arranger track, the Inspector displays the lists of
available arranger chains and arranger events. See the
chapter “The arranger track” on page 124 for details.
Folder tracks
When a folder track is selected, the Inspector shows the
folder and its underlying tracks, much like a folder struc-
ture in the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder.
Ö You can click one of the tracks shown under the folder
in the Inspector to have the Inspector show the settings
for that track. This way, you do not have to “open” a folder
track to make settings for tracks within it.
FX channel tracks
When an FX channel track is selected, the following con-
trols and sections are available:
• Edit button
• Volume control
• Pan control
• Output Routing pop-up menu
• Inserts section
• Equalizers section
• Equalizer Curve section
• Sends section (Cubase only)
• Studio Sends section (Cubase only)
• Surround Pan section (Cubase only)
• Channel section
•Notepad section
FX channel tracks are automatically placed in a special
folder, for easier management. When this folder track is
selected, the Inspector shows the folder and the FX chan
-
nels it contains. You can click one of the FX channels
shown in the folder to have the Inspector show the set-
tings for that FX channel – this way you do not have to
“open” a folder track to access the settings for the FX
channels in it.
Group channel tracks
When a group channel track is selected, the following
controls and sections are available:
• Edit button
• Volume control
•Pan control
• Output Routing pop-up menu
• Inserts section
• Equalizers section
• Equalizer Curve section
• Sends section
• Studio Sends section (Cubase only)
• Surround Pan section (Cubase only)
• Channel section
• Notepad section
Just like FX channel tracks, all group channel tracks are
placed in a separate folder – when this is selected, the In-
spector shows the folder and the group channels it con-
tains. You can click one of the group channels shown in the
folder to have the Inspector show the settings for that group
channel – this way, you do not have to “open” a folder track
to access the settings for the group channels in it.
Marker tracks
When the marker track is selected, the Inspector shows
the marker list. For more information, see the chapter
“Us-
ing markers” on page 138.
Ruler tracks
For ruler tracks, the Inspector is not used.
Transpose track
When the transpose track is selected, the following con-
trols and sections are available:
• Mute button
• Keep Transpose in Octave range
