The Wave Track Properties Window contains the following standard tabs:
In addition, the properties window contains the following tabs:
The Wave Track tab, shown in the following figure, contains settings for all parts in the track.
The tab contains the settings shown in the following table.
Setting | Effect |
Attenuation | Attenuation, in decibels, of the original amplitude of the wave. This value is cumulative with the equivalent setting on the Wave Part tab for each part, and with the equivalent setting on individual waves. |
Lock variations to pattern track | If selected, the variation numbers for each part on this track are taken from a pattern part in the same track group and on the same PChannel. Whenever the wave part is to select a new variation (for example, because the part looped), it retrieves the variation number currently playing on the corresponding pattern part. If there is no corresponding pattern part, the wave part selects variations as usual. |
Reset variation order on play | If selected, variations play from the start of the cycle (as specified in the Play control on the Wave Part tab) each time the segment is played. If not selected, the cycle picks up where it left off. There is no effect on playback of variations in random order. |
The following tab contains settings that apply only to the active part.
The tab contains the settings shown in the following table.
Setting | Effect |
Name | Name of the part, displayed on the track strip. |
PChannel | Number and name of the performance channel on which the part plays. The name is shared with all tracks and parts that play on this PChannel. |
Attenuation | Attenuation, in decibels, of the amplitude of the wave. This value is cumulative with the equivalent setting on the Wave Track tab. |
Play | Manner in which variations are selected each time the segment loops. See following table. |
Lock ID | Group identifier for parts whose variation numbers must always match. Parts with the same ID play in tandem, so each time a different variation plays in one part, all other parts in the locked group play their own variations of the same number. This mechanism is the same as Variation Locking for pattern parts. |
The following choices appear in the drop-down list in the Play control.
Selection | Effect |
in random order | Variations are played randomly. |
in order from first | Variations are played in order, starting with the first. |
in order from random | Variations are played in order, starting from a random position. |
with no repeats | Variations are played randomly, but none is repeated until all have played. |
by shuffling | All variations are played, then shuffled and played again. |
