Note: The EXS instrument is saved to the project folder, independent of the File > Project
Settings > Assets > “Copy EXS instruments to project folder” setting. The EXS samples,
however, are only saved to the project folder if the File > Project Settings > Assets >
“Copy EXS samples to project folder” setting is turned on.

Creating Multiple Copies of Regions

You can make multiple copies of both audio and MIDI regions using the Repeat Regions
command.

To make multiple copies of a region

1

Select the region you want to make multiple copies of.

2

Choose Region > Repeat Regions in the Arrange area’s local menu bar (or use the Repeat
Regions/Events key command, default assignment: Command-R).

3

Set the following parameters in the Repeat Regions/Events window:

Number of Copies pop-up menu: Choose the number of copies you want (excluding the

original).

Adjustment pop-up menu: Choose whether you want to position the region copy at the

end of the selected regions (Auto), or snap the region copy to the chosen grid setting
(Bar, Beat, Division, 1/96, Seconds, Frames, Quarter Frames).

As buttons: Select whether the repeats are copies, aliases (MIDI regions), or clones

(audio regions) of the original.

Creating Region Loops

The Loop function allows you to repeat a region automatically, without needing to copy
it. A looped region repeats until it encounters another region on the same track, or the
project ends. A loop also terminates at the end marker of a folder, if the looped region
is inside a folder. (See

Working with Folders

.)
