92 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
To the left of the Arrange area is the Track List (see “Tracks” on page 92). This is where
you determine which (Audio) Object should play the MIDI or audio information on
each track. You can make various settings for these Objects in the Object Parameter box
in the lower left corner.
As the Regions are arranged graphically, you can also use specialized mouse tools from
the Toolbox to help you perform different operations.
The Region Parameter box (see “MIDI Region Playback Parameters” on page 116) is used
to set playback parameters, such as transposition and quantization (see “Quantization”
on page 120), for individual Regions.
The channel strip at the bottom left corner of the Arrange window always shows the
mixer channel strip of the currently selected track.
Opening the Arrange Window
The Arrange window can be opened by selecting Windows > Arrange in the main
menu, or by pressing Command-1.
If preferred, you may define an alternate key command for Open Arrange Window in the
Key Commands window (see “Key Commands” on page 36).
Note: Many Arrange window features apply to MIDI and Audio Regions, but some are
only relevant to one or the other. This chapter describes general and MIDI features.
Specific audio features are dealt with in Chapter 4, “Audio in the Arrange Window,” on
page 133.
Tracks
A track is where audio signals and MIDI events are recorded (into Regions and MIDI
Regions, respectively). They are stacked vertically and extend horizontally across the
Arrange area. Most of the functions described in this section are identical for MIDI and
audio tracks.
