Interactive workspace tour · Head Chef 1
Switch between the Arrange timeline, the inline Chicken Strip mix layer, the Piano Roll and the Mix Console rails, then try the interactive channel workbench below.
Visual workspace simulation: This interactive tour demonstrates panel layout, signal routing and control relationships in the browser. It processes no live audio.
The Arrange view combines Bars | Beats, Min : Sec and Samples rulers with six track heights (Micro through Jumbo, Cmd+Up / Cmd+Down), display-only waveform magnification (x1 to x16, Cmd+Opt+] / [) and an expandable Chicken Strip mix layer. Selecting any track reveals its 10 Graphic EQ bands (31 Hz through 16 kHz), Comp 1 threshold, input gain and output trim inside the timeline.
Open the Mix Console or separate Mix Window (Shift+Cmd+=) for full-height channel strips with reorderable processing chains (Chicken Strip with built-in and hosted CLAP or VST3 inserts), up to four post-fader Effect Returns, Solo (Shift+S) and Mute (Shift+M), plus Peak and RMS metering. Selecting a strip binds the Inspector to that channel’s Chain, Controls, Sends and Character plus Strip tabs and factory channel presets (including Late Night Tine and Glass Echoes), while original panels open for Mini Bar, Chicken Strip, Voltage Spaces and Voltage 80 plus the Substance and Octet synths.
Click Jam in the top application bar or Start a jam on the welcome screen to open Jam Console in its own window. Roll a four-part band: chords from Mini Bar or Octet, bass from Substance or Rubber Bass, drums from Voltage 80 or a Mini Bar kit, with Voltage 78 on percussion. Play along through the Amp or a keyboard, step back through recent rolls and keep the pass that surprised you.
Inspect and reshape chords across the List and Movement views or in Fifths and Find paths, build multi-section songs with drum-fill transitions and a two-bar ending, then copy selected parts into a Session with Use in Studio… or send Studio clips into a sketch with Explore in Jam….
Take a moment between passes
Hold the chef's hat in the top bar to hear a procedural chord rise over seven seconds. Release it to fade the cue. The song settings and transport position stay unchanged.
