Edit cell content

Individual MIDI cell content can be edited with the Step Sequencer, and audio cell content can be edited with the Loop Construction view.

To edit a cell, do one of the following:

Double-click the cell background.

Select an audio cell and press ALT+7.

Select a MIDI Step Sequencer cell and press ALT+4.

If you want to edit MIDI cells that don’t contain Step Sequencer content, you must first convert the MIDI data to Step Sequencer data. To do so, select the cell(s) you want to convert, then right-click the cell and select Convert MIDI Clip(s) to Step Sequencer on the pop-up menu.

To create a new Step Sequencer cell, right-click an empty cell and select Create New Step Sequencer Cell on the pop-up menu.

Insert Instrument row

To insert a new MIDI row routed to a new Instrument track, right-click a row and point to Insert Instrument Row on the pop-up menu, then select the desired instrument.
