Rack Usage

▪ You

can add components to the Rack by dragging them from the Component Pool and

dropping them into any position you want. You can also add the component pre-con-

figured to produce a particular sound, by dragging a Component Preset into the Rack

(see section ↑4.3, Component Presets).

▪ Clicking on any component in the Rack selects it, indicated by a surrounding orange

frame. At the same time, the associated page and item in the Component Pool is dis-

played. Thus, while building up your rack, you are always shown the most probable

alternatives to your selection.

Hotswapping

While a component is highlighted, double-clicking on any item in the Component Pool or

any Component Preset replaces the selected component. This is called hot swapping and

allows for quickly trying out alternatives. (Be warned that clicking any component in the

Pool will replace that in the rack. For instance, double clicking an effect will replace an

amplifier.)

If no component is highlighted, double-clicking on any item of the Component Pool or any

Component Preset adds the component to the end of the Rack. It is then immediately se-

lected and ready for hot swapping with another component.

Hot swapping is also possible when dragging a component or Component Preset into the

Rack: Just drop it directly onto the component you want to replace, which is indicated by

a solid orange rectangle highlighting the destination.

▪ If you don’t want to replace another component when using Drag & Drop, make sure

you drop it beneath the other components, which is indicated by an orange line in-

stead of the rectangle.
