DeepRemix: The Cursor, Selections, Groups & Effects
The Cursor
The cursor is a white vertical line that sets, amongst other things, the time at which playback begins (unless
there is a loop marked in the Rip – see below) and the time at which copied/cut notes are pasted. When a Rip
is opened, the cursor is located at the start. Its position can be adjusted as follows:
•
Click on a blank part of the Rip to place the cursor at that time.
•
Press the Left/Right arrow key to move it to the previous/next beat marker.
o
Hold down
X
/Ctrl whilst doing so to move it to the previous/next bar line.
o
Hold down
z
/Alt whilst doing so to nudge it slightly to the left/right.
Note & Time Selections
Two types of selection can be made in RipX:
•
In a note selection, notes/unpitched sound are selected but not the time that
they occupy. For example, this means that deleting a note selection will not
affect any other notes or unpitched sound at the same time as it, and will leave
behind silence if there is nothing else at the same time.
•
In a time selection, a length of time is selected together with all notes and
unpitched sound within it. Deleting a time selection will not leave behind any
silence and will shorten the Rip by the length of time that was deleted.
A note selection can be made in the following ways:
•
Click on a note or unpitched sound to select only that note/unpitched sound. (This deselects
anything else that was selected.)
o
X
/Ctrl+Click on a note/unpitched sound to add it to an existing note selection.
o
x
/Shift+Click on a note/unpitched sound to add that note and all notes in between it and
an existing note selection to add them to that selection.
•
Click & drag the mouse pointer over notes/unpitched sound to select them with a selection
rectangle.
o
Hold down
z
/Alt whilst doing this to only select those parts of the notes/unpitched sound
that are within the rectangle.
o
DeepAudio only: Check Fine Selection in Audioshop when using its Move/Resize tool to
reverse this behavior (see
DeepAudio: Audioshop & Other Tools
).
•
Double-click on a note/unpitched sound to quickly select all parts of notes and unpitched sound
that is inside that bar. (Parts of notes/unpitched sound that are outside the bar are not selected.)
A time selection can be made in the following ways:
•
Click & drag over the background of the Rip, without passing the mouse pointer over any notes or
unpitched sound (unless a substantial amount of time has already been selected).
