The Multi Zone
Channels
Each track has its own channel which includes a Record
Ready button, a Mute button and a Solo button. These
buttons have the same functionality as the respective but-
tons in the track controls area in the Arrange Zone.
Each channel is labelled and numbered. These labels and
numbers correspond to the ones found on the tracks in
the Arrange Zone.
Channel Level (volume) and Pan
Each channel has a fader for controlling the track volume
and a panner. The controls work in parallel with the ones
found in the track controls. If you lower the volume here,
the volume is also lowered in the track controls section
and vice-versa. Remember that you can reset these con-
trols to their default settings by [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking
on them.
Setting the color
When you set up a track by dragging a loop or instrument
preset into the Arrange Zone, Sequel will automatically as-
sign a track color. Which color is assigned, depends on
the type of instrument, i.e. drum sounds will be assigned
one color, guitar sounds another and so on.
Each channel on the Mixer Page also features the option
to change the track color. To do so, hover the mouse over
the right-hand side of the channel. A Color Selector in the
form of a small box appears.
Click on the Color Selector to choose from a range of col-
ors. All events on the track will also change color.
Scrolling
When you have multiple tracks in your project, you may
not be able to see them all at once on the Mixer Page. Use
the scroll bar along the bottom to scroll left or right to find
a specific track.
The Master channel
The Master channel is the output of all of the tracks com-
bined. It is found on the right-hand side of the Mixer Page.
This channel features a volume fader, a panner and a button
to disable the master automation (see “Removing and dis-
abling automation” on page 32).
