Hi Tim, 1) This looks like the environment window in one of the included Electronica templates that comes with Logic 9. What you're looking at are basically text faders created in Logic's environment which have been coloured and connected to various other environment objects. 2) It basically controls a tasty arpeggiator system built in the Environment. (Command - 8 to get another Environment window up to take a browse). 3) Select a Software Instrument track. Hit play in Logic's Transport and trigger some MIDI notes. (Logic's Arpeggiators are real-time objects so they can only be triggered when Logic's transport is running (in play mode). 4) Turn all the menu settings to OFF and if you don;t want to see it anymore just click the button in the top right of it's window - just like you'd do to close a Finder window. Cheers! Rounik

Dear Rounik, Thanks for the helpful reply. Another new toy to play with... Great! However... I have tried clicking to remove this window. It goes away BUT whenever I re-open the Arrange page, the darned thing comes back and always right in front of where I want to work. I spend half the day getting rid of it. How can I hide it until I need it? Regards, Tim

Chances are that you're working with a screenset that's locked. So unlock the screenset, close that window, and re-save the song and you should be good to go.

Thanks Tim, And thanks to Ski as well! He's bang on the money (as usual) and it's all down to a locked screenset. :)

Hey Tim, Sure. In the same project, hit Command-8 to display an Environment window and the use the Environment layer drop down menu in the top left of the Environment window to find that layer. :) Best, Rounik
