basis of tracks. You can see and access the tracks in the Arrange
window.
Narrow objects known as "sequences" are found on the tracks.
A sequence represents an individual recording, or "take". Each
time you record, a sequence will be created in the track you
recorded to. The sequence is like a container, so to speak,
which contains the actual MIDI data. This data can be notes as
well as control data, program changes, or even sysex for your
MIDI tone generators.
You can see that with Logic fun, there are many more possibil-
ities than with a traditional tape machine.

Information Track and Instruments

Take a closer look at the "track plan".
On track 1, you can see the sequences "A intro", "B groove",
and subsequent entries. "No Output" is displayed in the track
column of track 1. This is a "dummy track", which does not
contain any notes. The sequences on this track are only mark-
ers for the various song parts and, for the time being, are empty.
As you continue to work through this section, you will learn
about other advantages to using an information track in your
own songs..
Instruments for the tutorial song are found on the remainder of
the tracks: piano on track 2, bass on track 3, guitar on track 4,
and so forth.
The MIDI channel for each track is visible in the track column.
In addition, an icon is displayed there for each track. This
shows which instrument is in use.
