mat setting on the Transport panel. When this is set to “Bars+Beats”,

•The “Scroll to selected…” pop-up menu
The options in this pop-up menu work as follows:
• When you select “Track”, the Track list display follows the display in the Mixer, 
i.e. when you select a channel in the mixer, the respective track is automatically 
displayed in the Track list as well. (However, this does not work the other way 
around in this mode.)

MIDI
On the main MIDI page, the following options have been added:
•Insert Reset Events after Record
This is a very handy function for MIDI recording. At the end of each re-
corded part, a Reset event will be inserted, resetting controller data 
such as Sustain, Aftertouch, Pitchbend, Modulation, Breath Control, 
etc. This is useful if a MIDI part is recorded and e.g. the Sustain pedal is 
still held after stopping recording. Usually, this would cause all...

Key Commands
A wide range of new key commands has been added for various areas 
of the program. These can be assigned or modified as usual in the Key 
Commands dialog (this is described in detail in the Key Commands 
chapter in the Operation Manual).
There is now a separate Mixer section in the Key Commands dialog 
(see also page 85), allowing you to e.g. hide the different channel types,

•Toggle Selected Track
When you select this menu option, the fold state of the selected track is reversed, i.e. 
if the track was folded in (its elements (subtracks) were hidden), it is now unfolded (all 
subtracks displayed) and vice versa.
•Fold Tracks
Select this menu option to fold in all open folder tracks in the Project window. Please 
note that the exact behavior of this function depends on the “Deep Track Folding” set-
ting in the Preferences dialog, see...

Gluing events/parts together
In version 3.1 of the program, the behavior of the Glue Tube tool has 
been modified. Below, you will find descriptions of what you can do 
with this tool.
Working with the Glue Tube tool
By using the Glue Tube tool, you can combine several audio or MIDI 
events/parts or even controller events in the Project window, the In-
Place-Editor, the MIDI editors, etc. in the following ways:
Gluing one audio event/part to the next
Clicking on...

Gluing one MIDI event/part to the next
Clicking on a MIDI part with the Glue Tube tool glues it to the next 
part on the track. The parts do not have to touch one another. The 
resulting part will get the name of the first part:
If the Parts overlap, they are merged in the overlapping area, i.e. no 
events are lost.
The resulting long part will get the properties of the first part (the one on 
which you clicked). This includes part name, part mute status, etc.

If you hold down [Alt]/[Option] and click on an event with the Glue 
Tube tool, this and all following events on that track will be glued to-
gether. You can also change the default key command for this in the 
Preferences dialog (Editing–Tool Modifiers page).
