Chapter 3 Arrange Window 113

Icon Color

The small, monochromatic icons adopt the color of their “parent” Audio Object or MIDI

Instrument Object—which is also used for newly recorded Regions in the Arrange

window.

The high resolution Arrange icons have their own color and, therefore, cannot adopt

the color of the “parent” Object.

Selecting a Track

You can select a track by clicking on its name or icon in the Track List. This also selects

all Regions on the track (or if the Cycle function is switched on, it only selects the

Regions that fall within the defined Cycle area).

Use the Select Next/Previous Track key commands to select the track above/below the

selected track in the track list (default key assignments: Up Arrow/Down Arrow).

Changing tracks while retaining your selections

If you click on a new track while holding down Option, the track will be selected

without changing the existing selection of Regions.

Selecting Regions of the same color

If you have selected a Region of a certain color, you can use the Edit > Select Equal

Colored Regions/Events command to select all other Regions of that same color. One use

for this would be to compile mute and solo groups based on color.

Sorting Tracks

To change the position of a track in the Track List, grab the track number, and drag it

up or down. The cursor will turn into a hand graphic, to indicate that the track can be

repositioned vertically.

Creating Tracks

To create a track, use the Track > Create command. The new track is created at the

currently selected track position, and all ensuing tracks (below it) are moved down the

Track List.

To create a track at the bottom of the Track List, double-click below the lowest track in

the track list (Append Track to Track List key command).

Creating a Track with the Next Instrument

The Track > Create with next Instrument function, creates a new track below the selected

track, and assigns the next instrument to it (from the instrument selection list). Under

most circumstances, this would be the next MIDI channel in the same sound module.

You can also hold down Option while double-clicking under the Track List when you

create a new track. Alternatively, you can use the Append Track with next Instrument to

Track List key command.
