Creating an arranger chain
You can set up an arranger chain in the Arranger Editor or in the Inspector for the
arranger track. The Arranger Editor is opened by clicking the “e” button in the
Inspector or in the track list.
PROCEDURE
1. Click the “e” button to open the Arranger Editor.
On the right in the Arranger Editor, the available arranger events are listed, in the order
they appear on the timeline. To the left you find the actual arranger chain, which
shows in which order the events will be played back, from top to bottom, and how
many times they are repeated.
Initially the arranger chain is empty – you set it up by adding events from the list to the
chain. There are several ways to add events to the arranger chain:
• By double-clicking on the name of an event in the window section on the right
(or in the Project window).
When an event is selected in the arranger chain on the left, this will add the
event above the selected event. When no events are selected in the arranger
chain, the event will be added at the end of the list.
• By selecting one or more events in the list, right-clicking and selecting “Append
Selected In Arranger Chain”.
This will add the selected events at the end of the list.
• By dragging and dropping arranger events from the list on the right to the
arranger chain on the left.
A blue insertion line shows you where the dragged event will end up.
An event is dragged into the arranger chain.
• By dragging arranger events from the Project window into the arranger chain.
If you followed our example, you should now have arranger events arranged in a very
basic pop song pattern. However, we have used audio files that are only a few bars
