Clip basics

Only the basic properties and functions pertaining to clips are described here. See “Arranging in the Sequencer” for in-depth details about what you can do with clips.

Clip types

Here are the different clip types:

•	Block automation clips (only if Blocks are on) that contain information of which Block should play back.

•	Note clips contain note events with velocity values. Note clips can also contain performance controller events.

•	Parameter automation clips contain events for an automated device/channel strip parameter.

A parameter automation clip can easily be distinguished by the shape of its frame: the top right corner is “cut off”.

•	Audio clips contain mono or stereo audio recordings.

If the audio clip is a Comp clip, or a Single Take clip which contains several takes, there is a small symbol in the lower right corner of the clip.

•	Pattern automation clips contain device bank+pattern number.
