Arranging With Latigo

Arranging with Latigo is fast, intuitive and easy. Probably the best way to get familiar with the Pattern Arranger

is to do a fast tutorial, we’ll even try a simple edit so you get an idea of what’s possible along the way.

1. First load the Style “Guaguanco” by double clicking it or using drag and drop from the Styles Selector.

2. Click the Edit Tab to see the Edit Page (top right of Latigo).

3. Play C2 on your MIDI keyboard (or click the second C note on the Color Keyboard). The percussion

Pattern and it’s Parts will become highlighted with a white border and play.

4. Right click (Mac: [Ctrl]-Click) on the Conga Part “Cng 01” in the seventh column of the highlighted row of

Parts and select “Cng 03” from the drop down list. You will hear that the Conga rhythm has changed.

The listing at the top of the menu shows all available performances for that Track.

5. Let’s add some Bongos. Right-click (Mac: [Ctrl]-Click) in the same Pattern row in the Bongo column and

select “Bng 01”. Now we have a Bongo rhythm playing as well.

6. The Timbales and Cowbells Track is quite busy. Let’s make it simpler. Click the “Tim 01” Part so that only it

has the white border highlight and select Low from the Complexity menu in the Part Parameters below.

Now the Cowbells and Timbales are much simpler.

The above tutorial shows just how simple it is to change, arrange or

add Parts in the Pattern Arranger.

The Pattern Selector

The list you see at the left of Latigo on the Edit Page is the Pattern Selector.

The Pattern Selector displays the MIDI note used to play a Pattern (in the left

column) and it’s name. When clicked, a Pattern and all of it’s Parts become

highlighted for editing.

< Naming A Pattern

To name or rename a Pattern simply double click the name, type in the new

name and hit [Enter] or [Return] on your computer keyboard.

< Moving Patterns

Patterns in the Pattern Selector can be moved, copied or removed using the

cut, copy and paste buttons displayed directly below the Pattern Selector.

Simply select a Pattern, click Cut or Copy, select a destination Pattern, and

choose Paste.
