tired of highlighting and copying parts across to make longer passages of repeating patterns on a track?

highlight the part you want to copy - click CTRL + K

then double click the 'number of copies' box, and to create say a noice 16 bar section from a 1 bar loop, type '15' - hey presto!

ghost copies just means they are releated to the original, and thus if you change the original the copies also change.

FOLDER TRACKS.... on an empty track go to the column where you make the track a drum-track or midi track etc etc... choose FOLDER TRACK... then grab ANY tracks you like (click-hold the actual track header row whete the track title is written, as if you are grabbing it to move it up/down & re-order it's position in the vertical stack)... then drag the track up and drop it onto the created folder track header... hey presto... open/close the FOLDER track using the little +/- button to show/hide the contents.... great for organising screen clutter.

folder tracks are for audio only.

Kilo..whats this about setting keys on the controller as transports? Mustve missed that one

no they are not, folder tracks work with all types of tracks. Remote transport is via the KEY-COMMANDS setup page.

Something I do with the folder tracks is to divide them up to match the groups I have set up. ie. Folder Track "Drums" (all of the imported Fruity Loops drums divided up into individual sounds, normally 8-10 individual tracks), Folder Track "Vocals", Folder Track MIDI (with all the original instruments in case I need to do edits and rerecord as audio, Folder Track "Guitars" etc etc. This works a treat and keeps your screen much more manageable. Especially when you start to go above the 8 tracks of audio/16 tracks of midi on the arrange page.
