2. Concepts

These pages define the parts of a Throughline patch and of the editor. Read them from first to last for an introduction, or use the contents to find a term while you work.

The chapter covers the editor; nodes and sockets; cables and signals; patches; Frames, Groups and Zones; voices; Macros; musical timing; and signal displays. Each page points to the workflow that teaches you how to use those parts.

For exact signal ranges, shortcuts and file-format details, use Reference. The Glossary is an alphabetical index into these concepts. Individual node controls live in the Node catalogue.
