Direct Placement… Since it is fairly difficult to grab the
SPL in the window itself, you can also directly position it
using the bottom third of the bar ruler. Just click here to
make the SPL jump to the point you’ve clicked at.
…while starting or stopping: Double-clicking on the bottom
third of the bar ruler repositions the SPL, and also toggles
between playback (or record) and stop.
…numerically: Choosing Goto Position (default key: G),
calls up the dialog box shown above, to allow you to input
the song position numerically. The last division used (bar
position or SMPTE time) is automatically selected, with
the last input value as a default. Since the numbers are
registered from the left, it is enough just to enter the bar
number.
…in the score: In the Score Window you can set the SPL di-
rectly by clicking into a staff at the desired position while
pressing ctrl. This function is only available when the se-
quencer is stopped. The chosen position is displayed in
the infoline while the mouse key is pressed.
A hint: This method is especially handy when working in
page view mode, since there is no bar ruler in this case.
Cycle Mode
In cycle mode, a chosen passage of your current song is
constantly repeated. This is useful for;
– composing part of a song,
– practicing a recording,
– recording individual tracks consecutively
– editing events.
The cycle region is shown as a black stripe in the top part
of the bar ruler.
Switching On Cycle Mode
There are four ways of switching cycle mode on and off;
– clicking on the cycle button,
– using the Cycle key command,
– clicking on the top part of the bar ruler, and
– inputting graphically via the bar ruler.
