length will be audible.
▪ Scenes always start at the beginning of the Section.
10.2.1.1 Adjusting the Length of a Section Using the Software
Variable Section length allows you to lengthen or shorten a Scene without altering the refer-
enced Patterns. This is particularly useful as it avoids the need to create a new version of a
Scene when you only want to extend or truncate a Scene to make it fit an arrangement.
When the right end marker of a Section is extended beyond the length of a Scene, the refer-
enced Patterns are repeated. When the right end marker of a Section is dragged so it is shorter
than the referenced Scene, only the part visible part of the Patterns are audible.
To lengthen a Section:
► Click and drag the end marker of the Section to the right.
→ The Scene will be repeated if the adjustment is longer than the referenced Pattern.
