The Touch Tracks Window

Double-clicking a touch tracks object opens the Touch Tracks window.

This window is similar to the Mapped Instrument window. The input note is selected via
the keyboard on the left, and the output region assignment and parameters are set in
the columns of the corresponding row. For details about mapped instruments, see

Instrument Objects

.

A vertical gray line means that the setting is the same as the line above. If you change a
vertical gray line that is above another vertical gray line, the lower one changes to display
its previous value. (It is no longer the same as the line above.)

Region Note Assignment
Dragging a MIDI region or folder into the Environment automatically creates a touch
tracks object. All notes (initially) trigger this region. Middle C plays the region or folder
at its original pitch, and all other notes transpose it, relative to middle C.

In the Input Name column, you can see the input notes, and to the right, in the
Region/Folder column, the names of the assigned regions or folders. On the vertical
keyboard to the left, you can select individual notes or pitch ranges by dragging across
several keys. If you then drag a MIDI region or folder from the Arrange window, it will
only be assigned to the selected note (or note range).

Group
Groups behave as they do in the Hyper Editor. When you trigger a region, any other
(currently playing) region in the same group stops.

The Off setting means that the region is not assigned to any group.
