202 Chapter 5 The Environment
Opening the Environment Window
To open an Environment window, select Windows > Environment (default key
command: Command-8). Double-clicking on an instrument in the track list of the
Arrange window also opens an Environment window, to the layer containing the
corresponding Instrument Object. When the Environment window opens, the Object
that represents the track Instrument you double-clicked will be highlighted.
Basic Operation
Layers
Layers are display levels of the Environment window. They allow you to configure the
Environment’s display, allowing you to view and work with specific groups of related
Objects (Audio Instruments, for example), rather than dealing with all Environment
Objects at the same time. The name of the current layer is displayed in the Layer box.
The distribution of Objects on different layers has no affect on their function—its
simply a system of organization. There are some exceptions: Objects in the Global
Objects layer also appear on all other layers; and the All Objects layer shows all
Environment Objects in a list.
Switching Between Layers
Click-holding the Layer box opens the layer pull-down menu, used to switch between
layers.
Select Options > Goto previous Layer to switch back to the most recently active layer.
This allows you to toggle between two layers.
Remember that you can assign key commands to this and many other Environment
menu functions, for faster navigation and greater ease of use.
