Creating Your Arrangement

Using the Inspector

The Inspector, to the left of the Arrange window, is divided into three main areas. From
top to bottom: the Region Parameter box, the Track Parameter box, and the Arrange
channel strips.

Tip: Double-clicking on numerical values in (almost all) Parameter boxes, editors, on
the Transport Bar, in plug-in windows, and so on, allows you to directly type in a
value—using your computer keyboard, followed by pressing the Return/Enter key. This
method can greatly accelerate your workflow. Give it a try while reading the following
section.

Region Parameters

This parameter box is directly related to the regions shown in the Arrange area. When
either a MIDI or audio region is selected—by clicking once on it with the Pointer—the
Region Parameter box updates, to show the parameters assigned to that particular
region. Each region in the Arrange area can have unique parameter settings, allowing
independent transposition, quantization, and more. The parameters available for MIDI
and audio regions are different.

To view or hide the Region Parameter box:
