Environment Objects

Object Parameters

Each Environment Object has several parameters that control its operation. These

parameters can be viewed and changed in the Object Parameter box. The Parameter

box also appears in the Arrange window when you select a track assigned to the

Object. It also appears in the Environment window when you select the Object. These

are the same parameters—changes in one location will be reflected in the other.

Opening/Closing the Object Parameter Box

By clicking the triangle at the top left, you can hide all parameters except the Object

name and type. This reduces the box to its minimum vertical size.

Common Parameters

The following parameters are shared by all Object types:

Name

The name of the Object is shown next to the triangle, and can be selected for editing

by clicking on it. You can also edit the name by clicking on the Object with the text

tool.

Object Type

The Object type is shown in brackets, and cannot be edited.

Icon/Display Filter for the Instrument List

Click-holding on the icon in the Parameter box opens a pull-down menu, where you

can choose an icon to represent the Object in the Environment and Arrange window

track list.

Placing a check in the box next to the icon means that the Object will appear in the

Instrument List, and can therefore be assigned to a track via this menu. Objects not on

the track list can still be assigned to tracks by dragging them from the Environment

window to the track list, or by using the Environment’s MIDI Thru tool.

If the box is not checked, the Object will not appear in the Instrument List, and a

diagonal line through the icon is shown. This will not hide the Object or its icon in the

Environment.

You should only check the icon box if the Object will be used as a track instrument, or

you need to connect cables to its outputs by using the instrument selection menu.

Color

You can change the color of an Object via the View > Colors local menu, which opens a

palette of various colors. A double-click on a color field opens the system color palette,

allowing you create customized colors. These color edits are stored in the Preferences

file, and are available for all songs. The color of an Environment Object is used as the

default color for any newly created Region in the Arrange window.
