Direct Creation of Parts
There are four ways to create an empty Part:
• By double clicking in any empty (white) area between the Left and Right
Locator, in the Arrange window.
The new Part winds up between the Locators, on the Track you clicked on.
• By selecting Create Part from the Structure menu.
• By pressing [Control]-[P] on the computer keyboard.
In these two cases, the new (empty) Part winds up on the active Track begin-
ning at the Left Locator and ending at the Right Locator.
• By drawing it with the Pencil tool.
In this case, the Track, position and length of the new (empty) Part depends on
your drawing, just like when you draw notes in an editor.
● A directly created Part never replaces an existing Part, but might overlap one.
● Group Parts are created differently, see page 83.
Overlapping MIDI Parts
Parts on the same MIDI Track might overlap or be completely on top of one an-
other. You can make good use of this feature in many ways:
• Parts which start with an upbeat can overlap the end of the Part before.
• Small drum ornaments (such as cymbal crashes) can be created as sepa-
rate Parts and just be put on top of the basic beat Part.
• Duplicate Parts (or Ghost Parts, see page 45) which are used to create
delay effects, double sounds and so on, can be put on top of the original
Parts.
You will probably find other creative uses for this feature.
