Live Loops

You can arrange and play with musical ideas in the Live Loops grid of cells, each containing a musical phrase or loop. Each grid row shares signal routing and channel strip settings with a track in the Tracks area. Cells in grid columns, called scenes, can be triggered together to act as musical sections. An extensive set of parameters gives you full control over playback, recording, and looping, so you can spontaneously take your music in new directions.

• Cells: Cells can be triggered to play individually or as part of a scene and can be queued for later playback.

• Scene triggers: All cells in a scene (column) can be started or stopped simultaneously using the scene trigger.

• Function buttons: Tap to work in different edit modes in the Live Loops grid: Includes the Cell Trigger, Cell Queue, Cell Record, and Cell Edit buttons.

• Quantize Start indicator: Sets the start position to ensure that cells start at musically meaningful positions (beats or bars).

• Track Activation buttons: Indicate whether cells or regions are active (audible) on the track.
