A composition consists of all the elements: tracks, events, playlists, controllers, and the connections between them. It’s simply the complete unit you’re currently working on.

In the composition view (left side), you can see the main elements added to the composition, which can later be moved into playlists (right side). These are mainly tracks and events.

Adding tracks

To add a track to the composition, click the main menu button (top-left corner). After menu expands, select “Add tracks…” or “Add folder…” options. Then select the appropriate files or folders you want to add.

Hint

You can also add any track or entire folder by clicking and dragging it into the application window.

Supported audio file formats:

• .wav
• .mp3
• .ogg

Watch out!

The same audio file can be added multiple times to the same composition. To avoid confusion, it’s best to rename such tracks after adding them. Simply double-click (or right-click once) the track’s name and enter a new one.

Removing tracks

To remove a track from the composition, click the “trash” icon located to its right.

Oops!

Removing a track from the composition will also remove it from all other places — playlists, the editor, and playback. All connections to and from that element will be lost.

Saving and loading Compositions

Each composition can be saved to a file (with the .mm extension) and later reloaded from it.

Use the main menu on the top-left to:

• “New Composition…” -> create new (clear) the composition
• “Save Composition…” -> save the composition to a file
• “Load Composition…” -> load the composition from a file

Watch out!

The file stores relative paths to the audio files. This means that if you move any track to a different folder, the composition containing it will not load correctly. To avoid this issue, it’s best to save the composition in the same folder as your audio files.
