Moving a Section using the Controller
To move a Section using your controller:
1.
Press NAVIGATE + Button 3 ARRANGER to access Arranger view (if you are not already in
the Arranger view).
2. Press and hold SCENE to enter Section mode (you can pin it by pressing Button 1).
3. Press Button 7 and 8 to select the Section bank containing the Section you want to move.
4. Press the pad of the Section you want to move. Alternatively you can select the Section by
pressing the Page buttons.
5. Turn Knob 1 ( POSITION ) to move the selected Section to another position in your ar-
rangement.
→
The Section takes its new place. In Section mode you can now select this Section via the
pad corresponding to its new location.
14.3.6 Adjusting the Length of a Section
Here are a few rules on how Sections, Scenes and Patterns are displayed within the Arranger:
By default the length of a Section is automatically set to the longest Pattern used within the
referenced Scene (Auto Length), unless the length of the Section is manually set to a specific
bar range (Manual Length).
▪
Auto Length: By default, the length of a Section corresponds to the longest Pattern used in
the referenced Scene. Inserting a new Pattern that is longer than the Section automatically
extends the Section. Removing the longest Pattern from the Section automatically shrinks
the Section. Extending/shrinking the longest Pattern automatically extends/shrinks the Sec-
tion accordingly.
▪
Manual Length: A Section can be manually adjusted to a set length. This can be shorter or
longer than the Pattern contained within the referenced Scene. Inserting or removing Pat-
terns from the Scene will not alter the length of the Section, however the length of a Sec-
tion can be altered by dragging the mouse directly in the timeline or by using your MA-
SCHINE controller.
