A section is a labelled, coloured box that holds a group of controls, such as Input and Compressor on a channel strip plugin. Controls in a section move together and stay on the same page. Sections work in plugin templates and on Control View pages, both part of the one-time unlock.
- Open the page in edit mode and tap an empty spot. The Add sheet opens.
- Choose New Section. The section’s settings open.
- Type a Label, pick a Render style (Container or Underlay) and a Color, then tap Save.
- Add controls into the section with its own + button, for example From listen to touch parameters in REAPER.
- To put an existing control into a section, tap the control, pick the section under Group, and tap Save. Pick None to take it out again.
- To move the whole section, press and hold the header strip on its left edge, then drag. Hold it against the screen edge to carry it to another page.
- Tap Done to keep your changes.
Tap the header strip to change the section’s label, style or colour later, or to delete it with Delete section.
If it doesn’t work
- The section turns red and jumps back. A section only drops into free space. It never pushes other controls aside, whatever your collision setting.
- A control lands outside the section. Controls added from the page’s Add sheet go on the page, not into a section. Use the section’s own +, or set Group in the control’s settings.
