Play mode
Play mode allows you to change how your music sounds in playback, including by changing the playback template and assigning VST instruments, inputting automation, adjusting the mix, and changing the sounding duration of notes in playback without affecting their notated duration.
Tracks
Tracks are rows in the event display that represent time horizontally from left to right. They allow you to control multiple musical elements in a project simultaneously but independently of each other.
Instrument tracks
Instrument tracks allow you to view, input, and edit notes belonging to the corresponding instrument. Notes are displayed on a piano roll editor or drum editor, depending on the type of instrument.
Automation lanes
Automation lanes allow you to view, input, and edit MIDI controller data that applies to the corresponding instrument/voice. Each instrument track has its own automation lane that you can show in the event display.
Showing automation lanes
You can show the automation lane for each instrument track independently.
