110 Chapter 5 Navigating Your Project
To resize the cycle:
m Grab the handles (triangles) at either end of the cycle to move the start or end points
(you can even do this while Logic Express is running.).
Note: You can set either the start or end point of a cycle (whichever is closest) by Shift-
clicking the desired position in the Bar ruler. This works even when the stripe is outside
the visible range, or Cycle mode is switched off.
When you set the size of a cycle graphically in the Bar ruler, its start and end points
(and therefore, overall size) is quantized to the setting chosen in the Snap menu. For
more information, see “Snapping Region Edits to Time Positions” on page 309.
Defining a Cycle With the Transport Locator Displays
You can enter the locator positions—therefore setting the cycle boundaries—
numerically in the Transport bar Locator display. The locators are shown to the right of
the Position display: The top value denotes the left locator position, and the bottom
one, the right locator position.
To define the locator positions in the Transport, do one of the following:
m Double-click on either locator display field, and directly type in a left or right position
value.
Type in all bar, beat, sub-beat, and tick values (using space or a period between
numbers), and press Return to close the entry box and set the locator.
Note: You can quickly set the locator to the beginning of a bar by simply inputting the
first digit.
m Click-hold on any of the left or right locator number fields in the Transport, and move
the mouse up or down.
The corresponding cycle boundary (if shown in the Bar ruler) will move to match.
