THE SEQUENCER

Drawing notes
1. If you want to restrict note input to certain note values (e.g. six-
teenth notes), set the Snap value accordingly and activate Snap.
2. Select the Pencil tool.
You can toggle temporarily between the Arrow tool and the Pencil tool by
holding down [Command] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows).
3. If needed, click in the piano keyboard display, drum sound list or
slice list to find the correct pitch.
If the track is connected to a device, this will play the corresponding note.
4. Click in the note display part of the lane, at the desired position.
A note will be inserted at the closest Snap value position.
➜ If you just click, the note will get the length of the Snap value.
This is true regardless of whether Snap is activated or not.
➜ If you instead click and keep the mouse button pressed, you can
drag to the right to set the length of the note.
If Snap is on, the length will be a multiple of the Snap value (unless you
hold down [Shift] while you drag). Also, see the note about drum note
lengths below.
Selecting notes
To select notes in the Edit View, use one of the following methods:
➜ Click on a note with the Arrow tool to select it.
➜ To select several notes, hold down [Shift] and click.
You can de-select individual notes by [Shift]-clicking them again.
➜ You can also click and drag a selection rectangle around the notes
you want to select.
If Snap is on, the selection rectangle will be magnetic to the nearest snap
value positions. For example, if Snap is set to “Bar”, dragging a rectangle
will select all notes within an exact range of bars (and within the pitches
enclosed by the rectangle).
➜ You can select the next or previous note on the track by pressing
the right or left arrow key on the computer keyboard.
Holding down [Shift] and using the arrow keys allows you to make multi-
ple selections.
➜ To select all notes on the track, use the Select All function on the
Edit menu.
Make sure that the correct lane (Key, Drum or REX) has focus first - oth-
erwise you may select all controllers or pattern changes. To set focus to
a lane, click somewhere in it (focus is indicated by a thin extra border
within the lane).
➜ To deselect all notes, click somewhere in an empty area.
Moving notes
➜ To move a note, click and drag it to a new position.
If several notes are selected, all will be moved. The individual distance
between the moved notes will be kept.
➜ If Snap is on, the moved events will keep their relative distance to
the Snap value positions.
For example, if Snap is set to “Bar”, you can move the selected notes to
another bar without affecting their timing.
➜ If you hold down [Shift] when you drag, movement is restricted to
horizontal or vertical only.
This helps you move notes without accidentally transposing them, or
transposing notes without accidentally changing their meter position.
Duplicating notes
To duplicate the selected notes, hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Win-
dows) and proceed as when moving notes.
Using Cut, Copy and Paste
You can move or duplicate events using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands
on the Edit menu.
➜ When you Cut or Copy, the song position is automatically moved to
the end of the selection (or, if Snap is activated, to the closest Snap
value position after the end of the selection).
You can use this for repeating events, as described on page 14.
➜ When you Paste, the events appear at the song position, on their
original track(s).
