Timeline Editor

Based on time code, you can trigger cue segments at exactly the right time and synchronize your lighting to audio shown in waveforms by creating a Timeline.
In this case, MADRIX 5 itself can become the time-code sender.

This feature is also know as sequencing.

To close the Timeline Editor again and change back to the original MADRIX 5 user interface:

It is highly recommended to set up your Storage Places [incl. MADRIX Effects, Layers, Chasers, etc.] before using the Timelines feature.

No matter if audio files are added to a Timeline or not, a functioning audio-output device is required for Timeline playback!

▪You need to create a new Timeline first.
[Navigate the left side of the window.]

	Add - Creates a new Timeline. ▪You can add more than one Timeline. Remove - Removes the currently selected Timeline. Timelines that currently playing or are paused cannot be removed. Stop the playback first. Duplicate - Copies the currently selected Timeline and adds it as a new item.
	Position Up - Changes the order, and moves the currently selected Timeline one item higher up in the list.
	Position Down- Changes the order, and moves the currently selected Timeline one item lower down in the list.
#	Index - References the different Timelines by index number. Left Mouse Double-Click - Allows you to edit the index. Enter a number and confirm with Enter on your keyboard to change the order of Timelines. Play - If playback of a Timeline has been started, the index number changes into the play symbol. Pause - If playback of a Timeline has been paused, the index number changes into the pause symbol.
Name	Shows the label of the Timeline. The software names new Timelines Timeline by default. Left Mouse Double-Click - Allows you to edit the name. Enter any name and confirm with Enter on your keyboard.

After creating a Timeline, the following file-management options become available:
[Navigate to the right side of the window.]

Left Mouse Click - Opens the context menu.

Open... - Loads a previously saved Timeline file, which can be a MADRIX Timeline or MADRIX Cue List [of the file type *.mtlx or *.mclx]. Choose the file from your system.

Save As... - Stores your current Timeline in an external file as MADRIX Timeline [of the file type *.mtlx].

Export Markers... - Saves configured Timeline Markers as an external file in a general file format for exchange between software applications [of the file type *.csv]. Choose the location on your system where to save. Learn more below.

Import Markers... - Loads Timeline Markers from an external file [of the file type *.csv]. Attention: Any existing Markers will be removed in the process. Learn more below.

Merge Markers... - Loads Timeline Markers from an external file and adds them to Markers that are already existing [of the file type *.mtlx]. Learn more below.

Clear - Resets the current Timeline and removes all content, such as audio segments, cues, and other settings.

▪Note: It is not required to add audio files to a Timeline.
[Skip to '3] Creating Cue Segments' if you don't want to add audio files.]

Add - Adds a new audio segment at the current cursor position. This defines the time code at which the audio segment is inserted.
- Navigate to the desired time code first and confirm with a Left Mouse Click
- Select an audio file from your computer first.
- Supported file formats include: *.3ga, *.aac, *.adts, *.asf, *.m4a, *.mp3, *.wav, *.wma
- Unsupported formats: *.mp3 with a variable bitrate [VBR]

▪You can add more than one audio file/segment.

Duplicate

▪ Select one or more segments and hold down Ctrl on your keyboard.
[Shift+Ctrl suppresses snapping for the current action.]

▪A copy of the segments will be created.

▪Simply release the mouse at the segments's new position.

Drag And Drop Audio Files

▪Left Mouse Click And Hold + Drag - You can select and drag and drop audio files directly into the Timeline Editor.

▪Audio files are only referenced by the Timeline Editor. Make sure the source files are always available!

Remove - Removes the currently selected audio segments. Select one or more audio segment first.

Automatic Audio-Volume Fade - If enabled, creates automatic mixes [crossfades] between overlapping audio segments.

▪Note: If no cue segments are added to a Timeline, the currently selected Storage Places will be displayed continuously.

Add - Adds a new cue segment at the current cursor position. This defines the time code at which the cue segment is inserted.
[Keyboard shortcut: Ins]

- Cue segments reference Storage Places [just like a Cue List].
- It is highly recommended to set up your Storage Places [incl. MADRIX Effects, Layers, Chasers, etc.] before using the Timeline feature.
- Navigate to the desired time code first and confirm with a Left Mouse Click
- The newly created cue segment will automatically reference the most recently selected Storage Place by default.

▪You can add more than one cue segment.

▪Cue segments can only be used back to back. If cue segments have been added, it is not possible to not reference a Storage Place at a time.
- If you do not wish to output anything at certain times, use the Opacity or add a Storage Place with SCE Color in Black.

Duplicate

▪ Select one or more segments and hold down Ctrl on your keyboard.
[Shift+Ctrl disables snapping for the current action.]

▪Then, continue to hold Alt and the left mouse button and drag your mouse.

▪A copy of the segments will be created.

▪Simply release the mouse at the segments's new position.

Drag And Drop Storage Places

Edit Markers... - Calls up the window to edit markers; as explained below.

Clear Markers - Removes all markers from the Timeline.

Markers allow you to tag and recall specific positions on the Timeline, i.e. timestamps.

This is especially useful for positioning audio segments as well as cue segments.
[For example, you might play back the Timeline to hear the audio and set new markers via the keyboard each time you hear a striking change in music.]

In order to exchange timestamps between software applications and equipment, use the File menu to export, import, or merge Markers.
This workflow was mainly implemented to be able to export from the audio-production software REAPER.

Left Mouse Click - Opens the context menu.

Export Markers... - Saves configured Timeline Markers as an external file in a general file format for exchange between software applications [of the file type *.csv]. Choose the location on your system where to save.

Import Markers... - Loads Timeline Markers from an external file [of the file type *.csv]. Attention: Any existing Markers will be removed in the process.

Merge Markers... - Loads Timeline Markers from an external file and adds them to Markers that are already existing [of the file type *.mtlx].

File Format:

MADRIX 5 supports a very general file format for this purpose. CSV files are usually text files with tabularly structured data.
The supported file format looks like this in general:

#,Name,Start

M1,,00:00:02:26

M2,,00:00:06:12

M3,,00:00:11:15

Attention: You need to meet the following prerequisites to be able to import Cue Points from REAPER!

- The supported time format of MADRIX 5 is Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames [HH:MM:SS:FF].
REAPER uses its currently set time format during the export process. Make sure to set it to HH:MM:SS:FF before the export.
- The frame rate of REAPER should match the frame rate of the MADRIX 5 Timeline Editor. [Otherwise, imported timestamps will not match the final Markers in the Timeline. The exported CSV does not include the exported frame rate.]

- Regions are exported from REAPER can be included in the export but will simply be ignored by the import process.

- Exported Timestamps that lay outside of the Timeline duration of the MADRIX 5 Timeline Editor will be ignored during the import process.
