MIDI Track Controls

Volume Adjusts the volume of the instrument on the track.

Pan Positions the instrument sound to the left or right in the stereo image. To turn the knob, place your mouse pointer on the knob and hold the left button down as you drag in a circular motion.

Mute Silences the track when the red indicator is lit.

Solo Plays this track only, and silences the other tracks when the red indicator is lit.

Record Select Turns on “record mode” for the track. Only one track can be active at a time; the red indicator will show you which track is active.

Instrument Click on the left and right triangular buttons to choose from 128 different MIDI instruments.

Loop Looping makes the music repeat over and over so you don’t need to play it over and over. Play a part once and set it to loop until the session is stopped. The Loop selection box has a variable display showing you how many measures of music are being looped. For example:

OFF: No looping. The track plays once and stops.

1:The first measure plays repeatedly until you press the stop button.

6:The first six measures are looped. For example, if the first two measures contain music and the third through sixth measures are silent, you hear two measures of music, then four measures of silence, the first two measures of music again, and so on, until you press the stop button.

You can loop as many tracks as you want. When you save the file, in ORC format, the loop values will be saved also.

Quantize When you choose a quantization value, notes snap to the beat grid that you select. For example:

OFF: A dash in the box indicates that no quantization is in use.

4:The beat grid is set to quarter notes. Each note is forced to begin on the nearest quarter note division in the measure.

4T: The beat grid is set to quarter note triplets.

8:The beat grid is set to eighth notes. Each note is forced to begin on the nearest eighth note division in the measure.

8S: The beat grid is set to eighth notes with a swing feel.
