wards). You can also grab the stripe and move it quickly, to
take you to a different song position.
Parameter Fields and Displays
All the displays in the Transport panel (apart from the
song name), can be used for inputting data. You can either
input the numbers via the keyboard, after double-clicking
on the display field, or adjust the individual numbers us-
ing the mouse as a slider.
Position Display: The current song position is shown in
two formats:
Above: SMPTE time.
Hours: Minutes: Seconds: Frames / Subframes.

Bar—Beat—Division—Ticks.
A beat corresponds to the denominator in the time signa-
ture, a division is a freely-definable part of a beat (see sec-
tion Time Signature and Divisions from page 108 onwards).
A tick is the smallest possible bar subdivision or system
quantization—just 1/3840 note.
Buttons: There is a column of four small gray buttons, be-
tween the locator display area, and the tempo display area.
The bottom two of these are aligned just to the right of the
two locator points. The upper of these will take the SPL to
the left locator, when pressed. The lower button will take
the SPL to the right locator.
Locators: You define two sets of locator points, one for
the Cycle zone, and the other for the Autodrop zone.
The locators on the left define the cycle region, which is a
passage that can be constantly repeated (take a look at the
section Cycle Mode from page 112 onwards).
The locators on the right define the autodrop range (take a
look at the section Autodrop from page 110 onwards). They
are only displayed when the cycle and autodrop functions
are both switched on.
Any mention of the left or right locators is a reference to
the left-hand cycle locators. The top one is the left locator
and the bottom one is the right locator.
