Arranger shows each track as a row with its patterns shown as black boxes (with their pattern number in white) on a time line. Tracks are grouped within their sequence. This should be familiar to users of Digital Audio Workstations (DAW). The left hand column shows the sequence and track titles. The information shown is as follows:

This should be familiar to users of Digital Audio Workstations (DAW). The left hand column shows the sequence and track titles. The information shown is as follows:

* On the left is the Pad number, e.g. 1-16

* The coloured rectangles on the left are the Pad numbers, e.g. 1-16

* When another track is added to the sequence, the second track (and all additional tracks) will display the track number on the right

* '''N.B.''' When another track is added to the sequence, the second track (and all additional tracks) will display the track number on the right

* Name of the instrument currently assigned to the MIDI channel, e.g. Piano

* Name of the instrument currently assigned to the MIDI channel, e.g. Piano

* The background colour of the title matches the group. e.g. A,B,C,D

* The background colour of the title matches the group. e.g. A,B,C,D

====Navigating Arranger View====

====The Arranger View====

The selection cursor may be moved around the grid of patterns by rotating the BACK and SELECT encoders. Moving the cursor beyond the edge of the screen will scroll to show more of the scene.

* Horizontal scrolling will move the cursor one beat unless it meets a pattern in which case it will jump to the next available space in the timeline. If the selected pattern is too long to fit the space then it will continue to skip forward until it finds available space.

* '''Add/remove/move patterns -''' Patterns may be added to or removed from the grid by short pressing the SELECT encoder or by tapping the touchscreen. Press and drag allows more accurate positioning of a pattern. Patterns may also be moved (only with touchscreen) by click and drag action. (A pattern may not be moved to overlap an existing pattern.)

 

* '''Pattern selector -''' The pattern to be added is indicated by a number in the bottom left of the display. This may be changed by rotating the LAYER encoder. (Note: This differs from ZynPad where LAYER encoder changes the scene.) Tapping the bottom left number on a touchscreen will allow selection of the pattern.

* '''Zoom -''' The view may be zoomed horizontally and vertically using options in the menu. The zoom level indicates the quantity of rows or columns displayed, i.e. setting vertical zoom to 8 will show 8 rows (tracks) whilst setting horizontal zoom to 64 will show 64 beats.
