102 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
The Instrument Parameters
The Instrument’s Object Parameter box is located at the bottom left corner of the
Arrange window.
The Instrument parameters belong to the Instrument Object, not to the track per se, so
if you alter the parameters here, it will affect all tracks playing (addressing) the
Instrument.
Note: The Instrument’s Object Parameter box in the Arrange window is identical to the
corresponding Object Parameter box for the same Instrument in the Environment.
To open/close the Instrument’s Parameter box:
m Click the small triangle at the top left to open or close the Instrument’s Parameter box.
Name
The top line shows the instrument name, which can be edited by clicking on it.
Object Type
The Object type is shown in brackets, and cannot be altered. Normally this will
be: (Instrument) or, if you’re using Multi Instruments: (Sub Channel).
Selecting an Icon
Grabbing the icon opens a pop-up menu, where you can assign a new icon to
represent the Instrument.
Note: If you have closed the Object Parameter box, or it is hidden from view, you can
select an icon directly from the Track List by clicking on the icon while holding down
Option-Command.
Color of the Instrument Icon
If you selected a single-colored icon, you can change its color, using the usual color
palette with: View > Colors, as long as no Region is selected. The color of the
instrument icon serves as the default color for all Regions recorded on this track.
