Slots and Clip Properties

What is a Slot?

Individual grid elements on the Cue page are called Slots. Slots are a container for an Audio or MIDI Clip (depending on the type of track).

When a clip is loaded, the Slot displays 3 critical pieces of information:

• The Play button, which shows when the clip is stopped (triangle outline), queued for playback (square outline), or is currently playing (solid triangle)
• the Clip’s name (with customizable color)
• an icon for this slot’s Follow Option, if any
  

Empty slots provide only a square ‘stop’ button which, when triggered by the user or by the Cue button for this row, will stop playback of all clips on this track.

Selecting a Slot

A slot may be selected by left- or right-clicking on it. A red border appears around the selected Slot:

When a slot is selected, the clip’s Properties appear in the bottom portion of the screen:

When a clip is selected, 4 panels of clip properties are displayed; they are:

• Clip Properties
• Launch Options
• Follow Options
• Stretch Options (only shown on audio clips)

*An audio clip ‘trimmer’ and a midi piano roll editor are not yet provided, but are a high priority. These features are in development for a future update.

* The ESC button on your keyboard always clears your selection. If you have a slot selected, then pressing ESC will clear the selection and hide the slot properties area, making more room for you to adjust plugins or other channel controls

* In the Cue page, only one of the clip properties, channelstrip EQ, or channelstrip Sends can be displayed at once. Selecting any of those 3 items will hide the others.

Slot Actions – context menu

Additionally, Right-clicking on a Slot will provide options to:

• Clear the slot (i.e remove the clip)
• Load a new clip from a file selection
• Change the color of the Clip
