Soloing and Renaming Regions or Folders

Although the Solo tool can be used to hear events in isolation, it is most useful when
viewing a list of Arrange window regions and/or folders (Event List at Arrange-level
view).

To solo a region, folder (or event):

m

Choose the Solo tool from the Tool menu, and click-hold on the region or folder name
(or event) in the Status column.

The playhead will automatically jump to the beginning of the selected region or folder
(or event), and soloed playback will start.

To rename a region or folder:

1

Choose the Text tool from the Tool menu, and click on the region or folder name in the
Status column.

2

Type in the desired name, and press Return to exit the text field.

The corresponding region or folder is renamed in the Arrange window.

Note: The Text tool has no effect on events, as these cannot be renamed.

Learning About Event Types

This section covers the different types of events that can be viewed, and changed, in

modules or keyboards.
