The arranger track (Cubase Elements only)
An example:
1. Set up a project with a MIDI track and three MIDI
parts. The first part should start at position 00:00:00:00
and end at position 00:01:00:00, the second should start
at position 00:01:00:00 and end at position 00:02:00:00
and the third should start at position 00:02:00:00 and end
at position 00:03:00:00.
2. Activate the Sync button on the Transport panel.
3. Add an arranger track and create arranger events that
match the MIDI parts.
4. Set up the arranger chain “A-A-B-B-C-C”, activate
the Arranger mode and play back your project.
5. Start external timecode at position 00:00:10:00
(within the range of “A”).
In your project, the position 00:00:10:00 will be located and you will hear
“A” playing. Nothing special!
Now, let’s see what happens if your external sync master
device starts at a position that does not match the Project
Start time:
6. Start at 00:01:10:00 (within the range of what origi-
nally was “B”).
In your project, the position 00:01:10:00 will be located and you will hear
“A” playing, because it plays twice in the arranger track.
7. Start external timecode at position 00:02:10:00
(within the range of what originally was “C”).
In your project, the position 00:02:10:00 will be located and you will hear
“B” playing, because it plays “later” in the arranger track.
Ö If the Arranger mode is not activated or no arranger
track exists, Cubase will work as usual.
