Setting up MIDI Thru to match a Region’s parameter

The Set Track & MIDI Thru Parameters by Region/Folder key command allows you to set

the MIDI Thru parameters to match those of a selected Region. This action also selects

the Region’s track.

Editing Several Regions Simultaneously

If several Regions are selected, the number of selected Regions is displayed, in place of

a Region name. If you alter any Region parameter, all selected Regions will be affected.

If a given parameter (Transpose, for example) is set differently in the individual Regions,

a “*” appears in the Parameter field. You can alter this parameter for all selected

Regions, and the value differential will be retained (relative alteration). If you want to

set all selected Regions to the same value, hold down Option while changing the value

(absolute alteration).

Loop

Value range: On or Off. Normal value: Off

When switched On, the Region is repeated until it encounters another Region on the

same track. A loop will also terminate at the end marker of a folder (if the looped

Region is inside a folder), or the song end marker. These loop repeats are displayed as

grey beams, named after the parent Region. The length of each loop is identical to that

of the parent Region, so if you want to create polyrhythmic structures, try

experimenting with the length of the original Region.

One way of ending a loop early is to create an empty Region (on the same track) with

the Pencil. Perhaps a better method is to place the looped Region in a folder. You can

then control the total number of loops by simply altering the length of the folder.

Looped Regions can be selected by clicking on the light-gray bar at the top of the

loop-repetitions. A short click will select the looped Region. Click-holding behaves like

a click on the background. All Regions are deselected and rubber-band selection

becomes active, allowing multiple Regions to be selected.

The Toggle Loop key command may be used to switch the Loop parameter on and off

for selected Regions.

Region > Parameters > Turn Loops to Real Copies transforms the loops into real copies of

the original Region, and simultaneously switches the Loop parameter Off for the

resulting Region(s).

Region > Parameters > Turn Loops to Aliases changes MIDI Region loops to aliases. This

function is also available as a key command.
