arrange
Arrange mode
Arrange mode manages each track's patterns and combines them into scenes and songs; E4 moves between the selected track's patterns and a click on it mutes the track.
Arrange is the bird's-eye view of a project. Pick a track and E4 walks through its patterns while the step keys show what each one holds; press again for the auxiliary tracks. Patterns are grouped into scenes, and scenes chained into songs. Since every change happens while the sequencer runs, the same view doubles as a performance surface.

The arrange page shows eight track columns crossed by a band of track colours; the selected track's segment is bright and dotted with its notes, its number above, and the current scene number sits boxed at the bottom. On the auxiliary side a small icon appears at the top left.
