Tools List

There are a number of tools and macro functions available for the Mixtikl Mixer. When selected, the colour of the Tools cell highlight changes to red.

Tools are generally sticky (i.e. they operate until cancelled) and the method of operation is generally:

1. Select the tool entry
2. The list closes
3. Select a content cell
4. To turn off the mode, press the tools button again

To access the Tools List:

• 
  Select the Tools Button in the bottom toolbar of the Mixer Screen.
  (see also Navigation).

[COPY CELL/FX]

• After selection (and until cancelled), select a content cell. Any other content cell you then select will then have this content pasted into it.

[TRIGGER CELL]

• After selection (and until cancelled), when selecting a content cell that cell will be forced to play. Normal operation for that cell resumes after it has been played once.
  • If you trigger a One-shot Track Rules cell (see Mixer Screen), then the content will play immediately, and not wait until the next bar boundary. This is ideal for "spot fx" such as stings and other incidental sounds.

[CLEAR CELL]

• After selection (and until cancelled), any content cell you select will have its contents cleared.

[RANDOMISE COLUMN]

• After selection (and until cancelled), every content cell in the columm (section) you then select (by selecting a content cell in that column/section) will have its content chosen at random from whatever the underlying pak is.
• The intention is to allow quick random combinations to be generated.

[RANDOMISE TRACK]

• After selection (and until cancelled), every content cell in the track you then select (by selecting a content cell in that track) will have its content chosen at random from whatever the underlying pak is.
• The intention is to allow quick random combinations to be generated.

[SKIP CELL]

• After selection (and until cancelled), any content cell you select will be designated a skip cell (shown left).
• When no section lock is on, a skip cell is skipped and next cell in the track plays instead.

[SILENT CELL]

• After selection (and until cancelled), any content cell you select will be designated a silent cell (shown left).
• When no section lock is on, a silent cell plays silence.

[LOOP CELL]

• After selection (and until cancelled), any content cell you select will be designated a looping cell (shown left).
• Looping cells continue to loop, whether or not a section lock is on in another section, until the looping is removed (which you can do by selecting Content Cell > Looping again).
