Creating an Instrument Track

To create an Instrument Track, navigate to Track/Add Tracks or Press [T] to open the Add Tracks menu.

The following options are available in this menu:

Name Click here and type in a name for the new Track.

Count Choose the number of Tracks you would like to create.

Type Choose Instrument.

Color Choose a color.

Auto-Color Check this box if you would like your Tracks auto-colored.

Input Assign a MIDI input Device to the new Track(s). Choose All Inputs |Any to accept input from any con-

nected MIDI Device.

When creating multiple Tracks, you can engage the Ascending option to assign inputs to each Track in

ascending order of device and MIDIchannel.

Output Assign an Instrument to the new Track(s). To create a new instance of a software instrument for each

new Track, choose New Instrument and select an instrument from the provided list. To assign the new Tracks to

a hardware instrument or to a software instrument already in use in the Song, choose Existing Instrument, and

select from the provided list.

When creating multiple Tracks, you can engage the Ascending option to assign Outputs to each Track in

ascending order of Instrument and MIDIchannel.

Once these options are configured, click OK, and the Tracks appear in the Arrange view, below the currently selected

Track. It is important to note that Instrument Tracks do not appear directly in the Console, as they do not output audio. The

virtual instruments generate sound and are represented in the Console by Instrument Channels.

Alternatively, [Right]/[Ctrl]-click in a blank space in the Track Column of the Arrange view and select Add Instrument Track

from the pop-up menu to quickly add an Instrument Track.
