Resizing the Counter window
The Counter window is freely resizable, and the
text size scales along with the window size. At
larger sizes, the Counter window is easily visible
from across the studio or across the stage.
Setting the Counter window display
The counter window can display one or more of the
four time formats in any combination. One format
is designated as the Main Counter. It will appear at
the top of the window. You can also specify three
“Aux” (auxiliary) Counters which appear below the
Main display. The format is identified by a small
icon positioned just to the right of it. To set the
counter display, choose the Set Display command
from the Counter window mini-menu.
Figure 22-15: The Set Display mini-menu command lets you custom-
ize the Counter as desired.
Counter window mini-menu
In addition to the Set Display command
mentioned in the previous section, the Counter
window mini-menu also has a “Set Chunk Start
Time” command. This functions the same as the
Set Chunk Start Time” command under the
Control Panel’s sequences menu.
For complete information about setting the start
time of a sequence or song (chunk), see “Setting
the start time” on page 193.
MEMORY BUTTONS

The Auto-Stop button

location on the Memory Bar. Clicking on the Auto-

The Memory Cycle button and the Auto-Stop
button cannot be enabled at the same time.
The Auto-Rewind button
Enabling the Auto-Rewind button causes the
sequence to automatically rewind to the Start
location on the Memory Bar. This occurs when the
Stop button is pressed or when playback reaches
the end position in the Memory Bar in Auto-Stop
mode. Clicking on the Auto-Rewind button
enables and highlights it.

Auto-Rewind is useful for returning to a particular
location after stopping. It saves you from having to
stop and rewind manually.
The Memory Cycle button
The Memory Cycle button is a cycle-playback and
cycle-recording feature that causes a portion of the
entire sequence to be played repeatedly until the
stop button is pressed, just like drum machines and
hardware sequencers. Cyclic playback begins when
