A workspace for creating custom Instruments for use in RMF files.

Note: All Instruments are based on Samples.

Tip: If you decide to cancel all your Instrument Editor window edits and revert to the previous version, there are two ways to do it:

  • If you're working in the Instrument Editor window when you decide to revert, go to the File menu and select the Revert command.
  • If you've just closed your Instrument Editor window and then decide to revert, then immediately click in the Session document window that contains the Instrument you just edited, then go to the File menu and select the Undo command.
