Session View

The Session View is a grid-based clip launcher for real-time performance and idea sketching. Switch to it by clicking Live in the footer bar.

Session View

Layout

The Session View is organized as a grid:

  • Columns represent tracks
  • Rows represent scenes
  • Each cell is a clip slot that can hold an audio or MIDI clip
 Track 1    Track 2    Track 3   │ Scene
┌──────────┬──────────┬──────────┼────────┐
│ Clip A   │          │ Clip D   │ ► 1    │
├──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼────────┤
│          │ Clip B   │ Clip E   │ ► 2    │
├──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼────────┤
│ Clip C   │          │          │ ► 3    │
├──────────┼──────────┼──────────┼────────┤
│ Fader    │ Fader    │ Fader    │ ■ Stop │
└──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴────────┘
  • Track headers run across the top — click to select a track
  • Scene launch buttons on the right trigger all clips in a row simultaneously
  • Stop All button (■) stops all playing clips
  • Mini mixer fader row at the bottom provides quick mixing controls

Clip Slots

Each cell in the grid is a clip slot. A slot can be empty or contain a clip.

  • Click an occupied slot to trigger (play) the clip
  • Click a playing slot to stop it
  • Only one clip per track plays at a time — triggering a new clip in the same column stops the previous one

Scenes

A scene is a horizontal row across all tracks. Launching a scene triggers all clips in that row simultaneously, which is useful for transitioning between song sections during a live performance.

  • Click the scene launch button (►) on the right side to launch a scene
  • Use the Stop All button (■) to stop all playing clips at once

Mini Mixer

At the bottom of the Session View, each track has a mini channel strip for quick mixing without leaving the clip launcher.

Each mini channel strip provides:

  • Volume fader — Adjust track level
  • Pan knob — Position in the stereo field
  • Mute (M) — Silence the track
  • Solo (S) — Listen to only this track

A master strip is also available for the main output level.

The fader row is resizable — drag the top edge to make it taller or shorter.

I/O and Send Rows

Optional rows for I/O routing and send levels can be toggled on or off to keep the view compact or show more detail.

Drag and Drop

  • Drag audio files from the Media Explorer onto a clip slot to import them
  • Drag plugins onto a track header to add effects

Adding Clips

  • Drag and drop audio or MIDI files from the Media Explorer onto an empty clip slot
  • Record into the arrangement and move clips to the session grid

Note

Clip launching quantize and follow-action settings are configured in the Clip Inspector.
