LANE MIDI CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT
Separate MIDI channels can be assigned to individual lanes when using Virtual
Instruments. This is particularly useful with multi-timbral instruments. To assign
MIDI channels, right-click an empty part of a lane, select Lanes>MIDI Channel,
then the desired MIDI channel for the lane.
AUDIO/MIDI/VIDEO CLIPS
Clips are the “building blocks” of projects. Depending on the clip type, they may
contain audio, MIDI, video, or text. Following are operations that are common
to all clip types.
MUTING CLIPS
Clips can be muted. Most commonly, you might want to mute a clip in order to modify
the arrangement of a song without permanently deleting a clip.
Muted clips appear gray. The easiest way to mute or unmute a clip is to click the small
circle-with-a-cross-through-it button in the clip title bar. You can also mute clips by
highlighting them and selecting Sound>Properties>Mute in the Main Screen Menu.
MOVING/DELETING/LINKING/LOCKING CLIPS
 Moving Clips
Clips can be freely moved in the Main Clip Grid. To move a clip, click its title bar
and drag vertically or horizontally while holding down the mouse button. (The title
bar is the top area of the clip where the name is displayed.)
You can also move a clip by using the keyboard. Highlight the clip or clips to be
moved, and press the arrow keys. The clip(s) will move based on the current
snap setting.
 Deleting Clips
Select a clip or group of clips and then select Edit>Delete from the Main Window,
or press your computer's DELETE key.
