The Multi Zone
Swing (“Song Tempo” mode)
Swing appears when “Warp Beats” has been activated.
Swing allows you to add a more human feel to an audio
event. Click and drag the slider left or right to add or re-
move swing. The effect of using swing is dependent on
the “Quantize” value. If the “Quantize” value is set to
eighth notes for example, only eighth notes will be af-
fected by changing the swing amount.
Free Warp (“Song Tempo” mode)
“Free Warp” allows you to manually adjust how the audio
lines up to bars and beats and essentially “warp” the au-
dio. You can draw Warp tabs and move them left or right
to change the timing and to timestretch the audio. By
clicking the “Warp beats” button, you can display the
Quantize grid (which varies depending on the value set in
the Quantize pop-up menu) and change it with the Warp
tool. See “Audio quantization and warp” on page 81 for
more information.
Ö The warp settings are saved with the project.
Number of Bars
This allows you to manually enter the length of the audio
event in bars. This is helpful if the length of the audio event
has not been detected, but you know its length in bars.
Reset Warping
Reset Warping will reset any changes that you made with
Free Warp activated. This function deletes all warp tabs,
and restores bars and beats to their original settings. The
Warp Beats mode will also be deactivated.
When the Stretch mode/Optimization section is high-
lighted, free warping has been applied to the active audio
event.
Root Key
This indicates the key (A, Bb, C#, etc.) that the event is in.
If this information is not contained in the meta data, noth-
ing will show up here.
The Key Editor
The Key Editor allows you to make various changes to the
instrument part. The Instrument part selected in the Ar-
range Zone is displayed in the center of the Key Editor.
Here you can move, edit, and even draw in data.

If you have several copies of one event and use the
Free Warp function for one of them, only this event will
be modified. All other copies will leave as they are. The
modified event will change its color.
