Event Types

- Other locator cues let you jump to specific points in the song for rehearsal pickups
▶Conductor — Skip, Hold, Cut, Vamp, End, Attacca

- Used to change timeline flow and follow performers
▶Midi / SFX / OSC (Scenes have only this event type)
- Set Mute/Unmute (can be suppressed)
- Recall Snippets (X32)
- Add audio overlays (in songs), or standalone audio (in scenes)
- Auto cue any MidiEvent in scenes for external (OSC) triggers

Adding/Removing a Scene or Song

▶Add a new song
- When adding a new item to the playlist, you can select an audio file to create a song instead of a scene
- Audio files (timeline) cannot be added to scenes later

Mic Map

▶Working with an existing Mic Map

- Send channel names to the scribble strip (X32/M32)
▶Add channels to an existing Mic Map
- Tap the + icon at the top right of the mic map to add a channel
- A new channel will be appended to the existing list
- Note that the new channel will default to muted on all existing MidiEvents
