Snap
The Snap function in the sequencer toolbar is used for “restricting” editing of clips and events to a user-selectable
note value grid. When moving clips or events, the Snap function always works relative to the original position(s) of the
clip(s) or event(s).
D Select the grid you wish to snap to by selecting the note value from the drop-down list:
D Activate the Snap function by pressing [S], or by placing a tick in the Snap checkbox:
! Note that you can select different Snap values for selected clips and for open clips (see “About separate Snap
values for selected clips and for open clips”).
The Snap function effects the following operations:
• Moving the Song Position Pointer, Loop Locators and Song End Marker.
When you adjust the Locators with Snap activated, they will snap to the selected Snap value on an absolute grid.
• Moving clips and events, recordings and Comp Row cuts.
When you move objects with Snap activated, they will keep their relative distance to the Snap value positions.
• Drawing clips.
When you create clips with the Pencil tool, their start and end positions will snap to the selected note value posi-
tions on an absolute grid.
• Drawing events in open clips.
The Snap value determines the absolute grid points on which you can draw a note or an automation point. The
Snap value also determines the shortest possible note length that you can draw.
• Splitting clips with the Razor tool.
The Snap value determines the absolute grid to which a clip can be split.
• Nudging clips, events and recording.
When you nudge clips, events or recordings with Snap activated, they will keep their relative distance to the Snap
value positions.
• Creating Comp Row cuts
The Snap value determines the absolute grid to which you could add cuts in open audio clips.
