this does not necessarily match the actual song position.
The calculation of all remaining musical sections is then
done using the current song tempo.
Absolute Position: You can recognize this format by the
broken line below the units in the time axis.There will be
a broken line below the units in the time axis when it is
displaying the Absolute Position. You will be in this mode
if you open the Sample Editor from the Arrange window,
or if the Sample Editor is in Link mode, and you select a re-

Time is measured from the start of the Song, which is
given the value zero (or 1 1 1 1 in Bar/Beat terms). In this

Monitoring Sample Playback
There are various ways of playing back the sections of au-

to hear audio as you edit it. Playback occurs independently
of the position of the sequencer in a Song. If, on the other

context of the whole song, you’ll have to use the transport
controls as usual.
Playback from the overview: Monitoring playback
from the overview display is carried out in exactly the
same way as with regions in the Audio window. Simply
click-hold the mouse at the point at which you wish to be-

from this point, to the end of the current selection. If you
double-click on a point beyond the selected area, the audio
file will play right to its end.
