Transport Functions
– To start playback from another position, hit Pause
twice, or Pause and then Play;
– At the cycle jump point, you can use the Chase Events
function ( more on this later)—Options > Settings >
Chase Events… > Chase on Cycle Jump)
– You can determine the way recording works in cycle
mode, by using the various options on the Options >
Settings > Recording Options… page (for more on this,
take a look at the section Recording in Cycle Mode from
page 115 onwards).
Defining the Cycle Region
Graphically using the Bar Ruler:
– Click-hold in the top third of the bar ruler, and define
the desired region, by dragging the mouse (dragging
from right to left generates a Skip Cycle; see above).
– Grab the bar in the middle to reposition it.
– Grab the bottom corner to move the start or end points
of the cycle (you can even do this while the sequencer is
still running.). If you set the start and end points to the
same position, cycle mode is switched off.
– You can reset the nearest edge of the beam by clicking
on it while holding down shift, even if the beam is
outside the visible range, or if cycle mode is switched
off.
When you set the size of a cycle graphically in the bar
ruler, your sizes are quantized to the nearest bar. The lo-
cator positions can only be changed division by division at
high zoom resolutions, or if you hold down alt as you drag.
If you hold down shift and alt, at a really high zoom reso-
lution, you can drag and change the size of the region in
ticks.
To set locator positions that do not lie on whole bar lines
regardless of the zoom resolution, enter your locator posi-
tions numerically in the Transport window.
Numerical Entry: The positions of the left and right lo-
cators (start and end points of the cycle) are shown in the
Transport window, where they can also be altered.
Skip Cycle
When you are playing the song you can skip a passage,
which is useful for trying out the musical effect of various
transitions.
Setting up Skip Cycle: Drag out the skip cycle region
from right to left in the bar ruler.
