Arrangement Rack

Providing sounds for the arrangement

On the Sounds page you find the Arrangement Rack (also known as Private Rack). It is owned by and opened together with the arrangement. Its Rack Modules provide sounds for the arrangement's instruments.

Otherwise it behaves like any Rack.

Tip: If you started an arrangement based on sounds hosted by the Global Rack, once your project is finished and ready to be archived, you should copy the global rack modules, so they are permanently archived with the arrangement. Do so from the pop-up menu on the Parameter Inspector.
