You can now also send MIDI from one track to another to
layer two or more sound generators. For example, to layer
two plugin instruments:
1. On Track 1, set the Program Type to Plugin and
select a plugin instrument and preset.
2. On Track 2, also set the Program Type to Plugin and
press the Program + icon to create a second plugin
program. Select a new plugin instrument and preset.
3. Open Main Mode and select Track 1.
4. Open the Channel Strip by pressing the eye icon and
then select Track view by tapping the bars icon.
5. Use the Send To field to select Track 2.
6. Now, any note input or MIDI from Track 1 will
automatically be sent to Track 2 as well, giving you a
quick and easy way to layer two sounds.

In: The track's MIDI input is always monitored regardless of the track's Record Arm state, and playback from
recorded events will not be heard.
•

will be heard.
•
Merge: The track's MIDI input is always monitored, and playback of recorded events will be heard.
