MANAGING THE RACK
49
Note that the mixer channel tape strips show the name of the device directly
connected to the mixer! This means that if you have an instrument device
routed through an insert effect, the mixer channel tape strip will show the
name of the insert effect device (as this is the device directly connected to
the mixer channel). In this case, you may want to rename the insert effect de-
vice, to indicate the connected instrument.
The relation between device names and track names
When you create an instrument device, it automatically gets a track in the se-
quencer, with the same default name. Renaming a device will also rename
the corresponding sequencer track, and vice versa, if the following condi-
tions are met:
• The device and its track has the same name.
• There is only one track connected to the device.
Often, having the same name for the device and the track is the most practi-
cal arrangement, since it makes it easier to keep track of which track plays
what. Should you want to rename the track or device independently, you
need to disconnect the track from the device, rename and connect it again.
How to connect a track to a device is described on page 55.
Folding and Unfolding
If you don’t need to make settings for a device, you can fold it to make the
rack more manageable and avoid having to scroll a lot. This is done by click-
ing the arrow to the left of the device.
To unfold the device, click the arrow again.
➜ In rack rows with devices of smaller width, the fold/unfold arrow is
placed to the left of the leftmost device and affects all devices in the
row.
➜ If you hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and click the ar-
row of an unfolded device, all devices in the rack will be folded.
Conversely, [Option]/[Alt]-clicking the arrow of a folded device will unfold
all devices.
➜ For folded devices, no parameters are shown and you cannot make
routing adjustments on the backside of the rack.
However, you can still rename, move, duplicate and delete folded de-
vices. For devices that use patches, you can also select patches in
folded mode.
➜ Playback is not affected by folding.
