long – to turn our pattern into a “song” (or at least into a basic sketch of the song
structure), these files must be looped. This is where the Repeats function comes in.
If you want an event to repeat several times, proceed as follows:
• Click in the Repeats field for an event, type in the desired number of repeats
and press [Enter].
When playing back the arranger chain, the Counter column indicates which
repeat of this event is currently playing.
• Click in the Mode field for an event and select the desired repeat mode.
When you now play back the arranger chain, you will hear the complete
arrangement.
2. Make sure that Arranger mode is activated.
In Arranger mode the project will be played back using the arranger settings.
3. 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.
You will see the project cursor jump to the beginning of the first event specified in the
arranger chain.
4. Activate playback, either from the Arranger Editor or on the Transport panel.
The events are played back in the specified order.
