song position to the song start, or in cycle mode to the left
locator.
Rewind/Forward: If the sequencer is stopped, these work
as normal. Both normal (Rewind/Forward) and fast (Fast
Rewind/ Fast Forward) winding are available via the key-
board.
Mode: The mode buttons do not immediately trigger an
action, but switch operating states. The activated mode is
signalled by the relevant button being illuminated.
Cycle: Switches to cycle mode (more on this on page 112).
Autodrop: Switches to autodrop mode (more on this on
page 116).
Replace: Switches to replace mode (more on this on page
115).
Solo and Solo Lock: In solo mode, only the selected objects
are played. The data output from all other objects is
muted. This is known as: “soloing the objects”. You can of
course, change the solo mode of objects by changing what
you have selected (if necessary, refer to the section
Selec-
tion Techniques from page 93 onwards).
If you want to carry out specific functions on individual
objects, regardless of the soloed sequences, you have to be
able to select these objects without affecting the solo sta-
tus.
This is what the solo lock function is for. After soloing the
desired objects, double-click on the solo button, whose col-
ors will then be inverted (as shown). You can now alter the
selection without affecting the solo status of the objects.
Sync: This button allows you to synchronize MAGIX midi
studio generation 6 from an external source. If MAGIX
midi studio generation 6 is running by itself, or acting as
a synchronization source (i.e. master), this button should
not be activated. When you first boot MAGIX midi studio
generation 6, Manual Sync mode is automatically
switched off.
Grabbing the sync button opens a pull-down menu, where
you can define the following:
– the type of external synchronization (more on this on
page 263),
– direct access to the tempo editors (more on this on page
260).
Metronome: This button is used to turn the metronome on
and off. MAGIX midi studio generation 6 keeps a separate
record of its setting for recording and playback. Grabbing
the button opens a pull-down menu where
