6.3 Launching the Arrangement with Locators
Using Locators to Launch Play in the Arrangement.
Locators can be set at any point in the Arrangement. This can be done in real time during play-
back or recording with the Set Locator button, and will be quantized according to the global
quantization value set in the Control Bar. Clicking the Set Locator button when the Arrangement
is not playing will create a locator at the insert marker or selection start. You can also create a
locator using the context menu in the scrub area above the tracks or via the Create menu. Note
that the position of a new locator is quantized according to the Control Bar’s Quantization menu
setting.
The Locator Controls.
You can recall (jump to) locators by clicking on them, or with the Previous and Next Locator
buttons on either side of the Set button. Locators can also be recalled using MIDI/key mapping
(page 477). Note that locator recall is subject to quantization. Double-clicking a locator will
select it and start Arrangement playback from that point.
After jumping to the first or last locator in the Arrangement, the Previous and Next Locator but-
tons will jump to the Arrangement start or end, respectively.
Locators can be moved by clicking and dragging, or with the arrow keys on your computer key-
board.
