At the right side of the Track Window
you will find all tracks of the current MIDI project
listed one below the other. Beneath the name of each listing you'll find two buttons with the
letters "M" and "S". "M" stands for "mute" and "S" for "solo". When a track is muted, it will not play back, when it is
"solo", it will "mute" all other tracks (except those, which are "solo", too). When playback is running,
you may notice some dancing bars indicating the loudness of outgoing notes at the left of the name
display. This column is called the "VU Meter". If you click on it,
you will open a dialog dedicated to the Track Parameters.
Besides you can perform the following actions directly on these listings:
- Create a New Track
In the Menu use Structure|New Track or press 'n'. The new track appears at the end of the list.
- Select a Track
Left-click on a track name or use the up & down arrow keys. (Using the arrow keys will, in fact, change
the actual track in any editor window)
- Delete a Track
Select the track to be deleted and use Structure|Delete Track or press the 'Del'-Key.
(The first track, the so-called Master Track, cannot be deleted, only its contents can)
- Reorder the Track List
Grab a track by left-clicking on its name and drag it up or down to make it swap
places with the track above or below.
- Rename a Track
Right-click on the track name. A dialog will open, where you select the name box and enter the new name.
