Basic Principles and Terminology

Anchor

Besides the start and end points of a region, there is one more
important feature: the anchor.
The anchor is a fixed point in a region, with which you can mark
a certain musical beat or a characteristic noise in a recording.
This point serves as a reference point,so regions can be musi-
cally arranged, or synchronized within a song.
When positioning a region in the Arrange window, it is always
the anchor (and not the beginning of a region) that is aligned
with the start position displayed for the region. For example, if
you are placing a sound with a long attack, you might wish to
move the anchor for that region to the peak of the waveform, so
that as you place the region on a beat, the peak lines up, rather
than the very beginning of the region.
In the Sample editor, the anchor is shown as a triangle under
the waveform. You can change the position of the anchor by
moving the triangle. To begin with, the starting point of a
region is always set as the anchor point.
The position indicator of a region in the Event list (or when
moving in the info line of the Arrange window) always shows
the position of the anchor.

Audio Track

MIDI sequences are played by means of an instrument, which
has been set in the Track list in the Arrange window.
You can play back the regions in the Arrange window in almost
the same way. You just choose an audio object as the "track
instrument" or create a new audio track with
