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
on page 781.
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’s 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 main window, it will only be assigned to the selected note (or
note range).
•
Group: Groups behave as they do in the Step 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.
•
Transpos (Transposition): When you drag a region to a key in the Touch Tracks window, that key
triggers the region at its original pitch (without transposition). If you want to transpose the
region, you can set the amount in the Transposition column.
If a key range is selected when you drag the region into the Touch Tracks window, incremental
transpositions are set automatically for adjacent keys (within the key range).
When you create a touch tracks object by dragging a region into the Environment, C3 triggers
the region at its normal pitch, and all other keys trigger it (transposed relative to C3).
•
Velocity: In the Velocity column, you can set the sensitivity of regions to the velocity value
of the trigger note: by 100% (very sensitive), 50% (somewhat sensitive), or off (not velocity
sensitive).
