The arranger section represents the heartbeat of EVM. It allows you to perform incredibly realistic live
performances and to build and produce your songs in the āEVM studio,ā accessing a vast Database of

arranger. However, it is possible to combine MIDI tracks with audio tracks or replace them
and keep them in sync with the Midi clock in real time.
