The Light-O-Rama Software Package > Sequencer > Sequence Tab

Your sequence grid is often larger than your display. To access all parts of your sequence, you will need to be able to:

•Scroll the grid in any direction

•Zoom in and out of the grid both horizontally and vertically

Scrolling

There are several was to scroll the grid.

Scroll Bars

You can click on the scroll bars to scroll the grid. There are 2 vertical scroll bars on the right edge: one scrolls the beat channels section and the other scrolls the main section. If there are no beat channels displayed, the beat channel scroll bar will be hidden. Also, the beat channel scroll bar will only need to be used if you have defined more beat channels than can be displayed at one time. The maximum number of beat channels displayed at one time defaults to 10, but you can change this value from the grid view menu.

Sequence Grid Scroll Bars

Mouse Wheel

You can scroll the grid vertically using the mouse wheel on your mouse.

Using a mouse wheel makes it easier to scroll

If you are using a laptop and only have the built-in touch pad available, you can use 2 fingers to scroll vertically; though this tends to not work as reliably as a mouse with a mouse wheel

Using a touch pad to scroll

MouseWheel

Hold the shift key down while using the mouse wheel to scroll horizontally.

Some mice allow you to tilt the mouse wheel left and right. This will scroll the grid left and right.

Keyboard

As you move the selected area of the grid using the arrow keys, home, end, page up, or page down, the grid will scroll so the current cell is always visible.
