8—The Home Screen

If this sounds similar to a V-Track (Page 87), you’re right. Each track in the tracks display
shows the string of phrases that comprise its currently selected V-Track. In fact, to put it
more plainly: What you see on each track in the tracks display is its currently selected
V-Track, laid out from left to right.

V-Track Map

The V-Track map shows you the project’s V-Tracks (Page 87)
arranged in a grid of horizontal rows corresponding to the
project’s tracks. Each of the 16 V-Tracks in a row is represented
by a symbol that tells you if the V-Track contains data and if it’s
currently selected or not.
You can select a V-Track for recording and/or playback by clicking it with your mouse—a
dialog appears to confirm that you’ve selected a new V-Track. You can also select a new
V-Track for a track using its CH EDIT V.Trk parameter (Page 151).
