About Parts and Group Parts
• A Part can be used as it is, even though you have put it into a Group.
Therefore, you might have to Mute a Track if the Parts on it are used in a
Group and the Group is played back at the same time as the Parts in it.
Otherwise you will get double notes that might give you an increase in vol-
ume, reduced polyphony or strange flanger effects.
• You can decide if Parts on muted Tracks should be muted when played
back from the Group or not.
This is done using the "Groups take Part Mute" checkbox in the MIDI Setup
dialog (see the online Help).
• A Group Part has "living" links to all the Parts in it.
If you delete a Part, it disappears in the Group, and if you change its Playback
parameters, this is also reflected in the Group. If you move it, however, this is
not reflected in the Group.
• If you add Parts to a Group, so that this lengthens the Group, this is not
shown in the Group Parts on the Group Tracks.
That is, the already placed Group Parts keep the original length. Use the Pencil
tool to lengthen the Group Part and "reveal" the added music. When you place
Group Parts from the Group List
after
having added Parts to the Group, these
new
Group Parts automatically get the right length.
Once they're on the Group Track, Group Parts are treated just as regular Parts. They
can be:
• Moved.
• Selected in any way that regular Parts can.
• Duplicated (Hold down [Alt]).
• Muted.
• Deleted in any way that Parts can.
• Sized using the pencil tool.
● You can also use any function, like Quantizing, directly on a Group Part.
However, this will not affect the Group Part itself, but rather all Parts that
make up the Group.
Group Parts can not be:
• Recorded into.
• Merged with other Parts.
• Grouped.
• Edited in any way (split, joined, or edited in the Edit windows. You can edit
the contents by editing the Parts that make up the Group).
