908 Chapter 39 Working in the Environment
When you’ve entered the desired notes for your chord, deactivate the Listen checkbox
and play a new input note, or close the Chord Memorizer window.
Touch Tracks Object
A touch tracks object allows you to trigger MIDI regions or folders with single notes.
This can be used to create a new arrangement in real time, ideal for live performances.
You can not use touch tracks to trigger audio. In the following section, any references
to regions mean folders and MIDI regions, not audio regions. Despite this limitation,
you could conceivably load your audio regions (as files) into the EXS24 mkII, and trigger
it with a touch tracks object.
To create a touch tracks object, do one of the following:
m Drag a MIDI region or folder from the Arrange area into the Environment.
m Choose New > Touch Tracks from the Environment menu.
To use a touch tracks object, do one of the following
m Assign the touch tracks object to an Arrange track.
m Place the touch tracks object anywhere in the MIDI signal path.
Here are some things to remember:
 Only the touch tracks input has meaning—trigger notes must appear here. Although
the object features an output triangle, it has no use, as events never appear here.
 MIDI regions and folders triggered by touch tracks play exactly as they would from
the Arrange window—they play back through the instruments assigned to their
tracks.
 Logic Pro must be running for touch tracks to work.
