344 Chapter 13 Creating Your Arrangement
Looping Regions
The Loop function enables you to repeat a region automatically, without needing to
copy it. A looped region will repeat until it encounters another region on the same
track, or the project ends. A loop will also terminate at the end marker of a folder, if the
looped region is inside a folder (see “
Using Folders ” on page 354).
Loop repeats are displayed as extended segments of the original region. Each segment
is the same length as the original region, and will change if the length of the original
region is changed.
∏
Tip: If you want to create polyrhythmic structures, try experimenting with the length of
the original region.
To loop a region with the Loop parameter:
1 Select the region in the Arrange area.
2 Click (turn on) the Loop option in the Region Parameter box of the Inspector (or use
the Toggle Loop key command, default: L).
The region is looped until it encounters another region on the same track (or the
project or folder ends).
To turn off the Loop parameter:
m Click the Loop option in the Region Parameter box (or use the Toggle Loop key
command, default: L).
