Organize Tracks
The organize tracks screen lists the 32 sample tracks and allows them to be moved, copied,
deleted, and renamed. Quickly double-clicking the Settings key closes the settings menu and
displays the organize screen.
If no sounds are assigned to any tracks, then the organize tracks screen will look pretty empty
and most of the function keys will have no effect.
Arrows/Encoder: Highlight Track
Enter/Encoder Press: Display the Track Settings menu for the highlighted track. If no sound is
assigned to the highlighted track, the file browser will be displayed to assign a sound.
F1: Toggle Fix Track In Patterns. The F1 key is illuminated to indicate Fix is on. When Fix is on,
the pattern is exactly the same before and after the move(s). When a track is moved, sometimes
you want to change the pattern, and sometimes you do not.
For example, a snare is assigned to A2 but I would rather it be on A3. So, I want Fix on, so that
any snare hits that were recorded as A2 are changed to A3 in the pattern, and the pattern still
sounds the same.
In another example, there are two snares on A2 and A3, and I want to swap them without
changing the patterns. In that case, I want Fix off, so that the patterns now use the same track,
but a different sound.
F2: Duplicate Track. A copy of the highlighted track is made and inserted after the highlighted
track. The copied track can then be moved to another position.
F3: Delete track. This is the same as selecting the clear sound function from the track settings
menu. If the highlighted track does not have a sound assigned, then F3 removes the track and
shifts the rest of the tracks down.
F4: Move Track Up. Moves the highlighted track one position up in the list, swapping its position
with the track above it.
F5: Shift Tracks Up. Shifts the highlighted track, and the tracks above it, up one position. If there
is a gap (a track with no sound assigned) then the gap will be filled and no tracks above that will
be moved. A confirmation is displayed if shifting up will result in track A1 being deleted.
F6: Rename Track. Displays the text editor to rename the track. The sound file is not renamed
until the project or kit is saved.
F7: Move Track Down. Moves the highlighted track one position down in the list, swapping its
position with the track below it.
F8: Shift Tracks Down. Shifts the highlighted track, and the tracks below it, down one position. If
there is a gap (a track with no sound assigned) then the gap will be filled and no tracks below
that will be moved. A confirmation is displayed if shifting down will result in track D8 being
deleted.
