Here's a clever way to rearrange tracks via the Ren/Studio hardware and software.


From the Mpc software via mouse

Option1:
1. In the Main screen, where it says "Track", click on the drop down arrow (it will reveal currently created Sequences).

2. Now click and hold on your selection and move/drag to desired position.


Option 2:
1. Click and hold a track over the on screen pad graphics in the 'next sequence' screen.

2. Move/rearrange tracks to your hearts desire.


Option 3:
In the track mix screen, simply drag tracks to rearrange them.



Rearrange tracks from hardware

Option 1:
1. While in track mute screen or next seq screen, press and hold pad (the pad corresponding to the desired track to be moved ) + the cursor pad.

2. Track to be moved would become inverted.

3. Now use the cursor pad to move track to desired position.

(We can maybe even allow multi track movements by pressing and holding multiple pads at once.)


Option 2:
1. Press shift + cursor pad while in the track mute screen or next seq screen.

2. On the Ren/studio, use the cursor pad (on the Ren/Studio hardware) to highlight a track(track selection(color) would become inverted)

3. Hold shift + cursor pad to move/rearrange tracks to desired position


Option 3:
1. On main screen, cursor to track name and press open window.

2. There would be an F key labeled "Move". Press it.

3. A dialog box would pop up and ask where to move the track to. You will have the field to select what track to move (defaulted to the track that was selected upon entering the menu), and a field to select where to put the track. Make selections and press do it!

*Note: Moving a track will move all USED tracks after it one space up, unless placed directly on or before an unused track. So for example, track 4 and track 8 are unused, tracks 5, 6 , 7 are used. If I move track 7 to track 4, tracks 5 and 6 stay where they are. If I move track 7 to track 5, then track 5 becomes track 6 and track 6 becomes track 7, but track 8 stays the same.



Please place two votes; one for software method and one for the hardware method!

well done

option 3 on software should be a no-brainer


+1

3 and 3 are the best imo

3 and 1... 3 from hardware is to complex for my simple mind lol ,besides the 4000 moved tracks like that so its a possible solution....Damn! lol

I totally misunderstood the topic, cus I tried all the options, but none worked :Sigh: so I guess its just suggestions for a future update?

3 and 1. Hardware option 3 requires jumping through windows and hitting f-keys, which is no big deal, but having to go back into the sequence to rearrange tracks that got bumped would be a deal breaker for me.... IMHO. The fewer steps it takes to rearrange the tracks the better.

Software option 3 is a no-brainer.


By the way, thanks for all the work you do with this stuff Helf. Sick to see the progress G.
