Chapter 9: Navigation and Editing 85
Creating and Editing Regions
The Control 24 Edit tools include all the con-
trols found in the Edit Mode, Edit Tool, and Edit
Function sections. These fourteen buttons
mimic their functions in Pro Tools.
Capturing Regions
To create a new region:
1 Create a selection of audio or MIDI data. Make
sure the selection is within the bounds of an ex-
isting region.
2 Press CAPTURE in the EDIT FUNCTION
switch section. Pro Tools will prompt you to
name the region. The default region name will
be displayed in Channel Bar Display.
3 If Pro Tools prompts you to name the newly-
created region (as determined by the Auto-
Name Separated Regions preference), use your
alpha-numeric keyboard (or Control 24’s nu-
meric keypad) to enter a name for the new re-
gion.
4 Press ENTER to confirm the region name, or
ESCAPE to cancel.
Separating Regions
To separate a new region with the Separate
Region command:
1 Select the portion of the waveform that you
want to separate as a new region. Make sure the
selection is within the bounds of the existing re-
gion.
– or –
Place the edit cursor at the desired split point.
2 Press SEPARATE (located in the EDIT FUNC-
TION switch section). If Pro Tools prompts you
to name the newly-created region (as deter-
mined by the Auto-Name Separated Regions
preference), use your alpha-numeric keyboard
(or Control 24’s numeric keypad) to enter a
name for the new region.
3 Press ENTER to separate and create the new re-
gion, or ESCAPE to cancel.
The new regions will appear in the track in
which it was created, separate from the data sur-
rounding it.
Edit Tool Selection
The Trimmer, Grabber, and Pencil each have
different tool options available from their pop-
up menus in the Edit window in Pro Tools.
These tool options can be selected from
Control 24 by repeatedly pressing the TOOL
button to step through the options.
To select an edit tool:
■ Press the appropriate edit tool switch: TRIM,
SELECT, GRAB, or PENCIL.
To select the SmartTool:
■ Press any two of the following simulta-
neously: TRIM, SELECT, and/or GRAB.
