These two panes together -are called the Arranger. - -<h2>4.2 The Arranger</h2> -<p> -The left pane of the Arranger describes each track in detail, -while the right pane describes each track graphically. - -<h3>4.2.1 The Left Pane</h3> -<img src="left_pane.jpg"</img> -<p> -The left pane details the following information for each track: -<ul> - <li>A -?? - <li>M - Mute the track - <li>C - Defines whether the track is one of MIDI, Drum or Wave. - <li>Track - A freely-editable track name. - <li>Ch - Defines which MIDI Channel this track plays on. - <li>Port - Defines which MIDI port this track plays on. - <li>T -?? -</ul> - -You can select which track is currently "active" by simply clicking -on the track. -<p> -When a track's M column is clicked, that track is marked as Muted with -a red circle and upon playback that track will not be heard.
