You can also enter your own info text for a clip via the Edit Info Text command in the Edit menu or in the clip’s right-click(Win) / CTRL- click(Mac) context menu. The context menu also contains a color palette where you can choose a custom clip color.Ĭlips can be reordered by drag-and-drop. Multiple adjacent or nonadjacent clips can be selected at once by Shift-clicking or CTRL-clicking, respectively. Slots in Group Tracks ( see 16.3) show a shaded area to indicate that at least one of the contained tracks contains a clip in that scene. The color of the shading is the color of the left-most clip in the group. These group slots also contain launch buttons which will launch all of the respective clips. Group slots which have no corresponding clips contain stop buttons. Clicking in any group slot selects all of the clips it refers to.Įach vertical column, or track, can play only one clip at a time.

It therefore makes sense to put a set of clips that are supposed to be played alternatively in the same columns: parts of a song, variations of a drum loop, etc.įor convenient access to more clips at once, you can resize Session View tracks by clicking and dragging at the edges of their title bars. Tracks can be narrowed this way so that only Clip Launch buttons and essential track controls are visible.

Note that you can resize all Session View tracks at once by holding ALT while resizing a single track. Note that pressing the 0 key while a Session View track header is selected will deactivate that track. The Scene Launch buttons are located in the rightmost column, which represents the Master track ( see 16.4). To launch every clip in a row simultaneously, click on the associated Scene Launch button. This can be very useful in organizing the live performance of a song with multiple parts. Note that you can cancel the launch of any previously triggered scene by clicking the Cancel Scene Launch entry in the Master track’s context menu.
