If you followed the previoustutorials you will have created a few Patterns for the drum kit Group and bass Group and addedthem to Scenes using the Ideas view. To create a structured arrangement it is necessary to addScenes to Sections in the Arranger view.In this tutorial, we will:▪ Learn how to switch from the Ideas view to the Arranger view.▪ Learn how to create Sections.▪ Learn how to assign Scenes to Sections using both the software and hardware.▪ Get familiar with Section handling and prepare our song for production.PrerequisitesIt is assumed here that you have followed the previous tutorials. In particular, you already knowhow to manipulate Groups (↑5.1, Selecting another Group), Patterns (↑4.2, Adding a SecondPattern) and that you have created a reasonable amount of Scenes (↑8, Creating Scenes).
