Scratch Pad

A Scratch Pad consists of all the windows you need to lay out and perform a mix.  You can open several scratch pads simultaneously, either from the Documents Submenu or by using Command-O.

The components of a Scratch Pad are

1) Soundfile window
	Containing the names, attributes, and user-specified gains for up to 32 soundfiles.
2) Control Window
	Containing buttons to load, alter, play a mix, and set the mix granularity and maximum number of tracks
3) Playnote Window
	Containing playnote commands, telling the driver which segments of which soundfiles to load, when and how.
4) Output Window
	Containing reports from the sound driver.  Check this for error messages
5) Tracks Window
	Containing gain controls for each  channel of each  of the 8 tracks and the 2 output tracks.  This is not automatically opened, since it is not necessary to use it.  It is activated from the Documents Submenu
	
The Control Window is the controlling window.  If you click in the Control Window it will bring all of its associated windows to the front, for that given Scratch Pad.   If you miniaturize the Control Window,  all of its associated windows will be miniaturized as well.
