Audio Parts
Audio parts are containers for audio events. If you want to treat several audio events as one unit
in the Project window, you can convert them to a part.
You can create audio parts in the following ways:
●
Select the Draw tool and draw on the audio track.
●
Press Alt, select the Object Selection tool, and draw on the audio track.
●
Select the Object Selection tool and double-click on the audio track, between the left and
right locator.
●
Select several audio events on an audio track and select Audio> Events to Part.
NOTE
To make the events appear as independent objects on the track again, select the part and select
Audio> Dissolve Part.

MIDI Parts
A MIDI part is automatically created when you record. It contains the recorded events.
However, you can also create empty MIDI parts in the following ways:
●
Select the Draw tool and draw on the MIDI track.
●
Press Alt, select the Object Selection tool and draw on the MIDI track.
●
Select the Object Selection tool, and double-click on the MIDI track, between the left and
right locator.
Folder Parts
A folder part is a graphic representation of events and parts on the tracks in the folder.
Folder parts indicate the time position as well as the vertical track position. If part colors are
used, these are also shown in the folder part.
Any editing that you perform to a folder part affects all the events and parts it contains. Tracks
inside a folder can be edited as one entity.
NOTE
If you want to edit the individual tracks within the folder, you can double-click the folder part.
This opens the editors for the events and parts that are present on the tracks.
