Track Display
Overview
Xynergi can display any number of tracks from 1 to 192 (or the number in the project if less than
192, or if your system is licensed for fewer than 192 tracks). There are several ways of choosing
which tracks you want to display.
It is also possible to Zoom the timeline over a wide range, showing from 8 hours down to a few
samples.
Get Ready
Press the Editor Megamode button.
Press the
Clip Level button.
Number of Tracks
To display a specified number of tracks on the Edit Screen, hold down the BLUE key and press
one of the Numpad keys with a label like
2T, 48T etc. The number indicates how many tracks will
be displayed. This time, press BLUE+
4T.
Now use the
track buttons on your Xynergi controller to select a track that is not currently
shown on the screen. The display group changes to include the newly selected track, keeping the
number of tracks the same.
User Tracks Display
To display any set of tracks you like, use the U keys, like this:
Hold down BLUE and also hold down the
U1 button (Numpad 3)
Keep holding down BLUE and
U1. Press the Clear soft key and then select a few tracks. They are
displayed on the screen. Release when you have finished reading this item.
You can set up track sets (called User Track Displays) on keys
U1, U2 and U3. They will be
remembered between sessions. While a user track display is current, pressing track buttons has
no effect on the display.
Edit Set
The edit set button is on the Editor Megamode.
It controls a way of automatically controlling which tracks are shown on the screen. When Edit Set
is on, the screen displays all the selected tracks. If you select or de-select a track, the screen will
change too.
When Edit Set is off, the screen displays the number of tracks you selected with the BLUE key.
Ctrl-Zoom
One more way to change the displayed tracks is to hold down ctrl and Zoom, and turn the Jog
Wheel. This increases or reduces the number of tracks, centering the selection on the most-
recently selected track.
Zooming
The Zoom button is used to control the scale of the timeline on the Edit Screen. The system offers
a number of Zoom Scales which control the amount of time shown on the screen.
