About separate Snap values for selected clips and for open clips
There are two different Snap settings, one for when a clip is open for editing in Edit Mode, and one for when no clip
is open (e.g. in Song/Blocks View). Typically, you would set a fine Snap value (e.g. 1/16) for open clips in Edit Mode
and have the other Snap value set to “Bar” for convenient clip arranging in the Song/Blocks View. You can also
choose to turn Snap off in either of these modes, independently of the other setting.
• The Snap value for editing is used whenever a note clip or automation clip is open (including when an automa-
tion clip is opened in Arrange Mode).
However, there’s one exception: If a note clip is open in Edit Mode and you click in the Clip Overview (see “Edit
Mode elements”), the clip will remain open but the Snap value for arranging will be selected. This allows you to e.g.
move or resize the clip in the Clip Overview just like in the Song/Blocks View, without closing it first.
Sequencer Toolbar keyboard shortcuts
Below is a complete list of the computer keyboard shortcuts for selecting tools on the sequencer Toolbar:
Ruler details
The Ruler is the song’s time line. In the Ruler, the Song Position Pointer indicates the current position in the song, i.e.
in which bar the song is, or will start, playing. The Ruler also shows the Left (L) and Right (R) Loop Locators as well
as the Song End Marker (E).
You can change the positions of the Song Position Pointer, Locators and Marker in the Ruler by clicking and drag-
ging them to desired positions in the Ruler. Note that you have to click and drag the “flags” in the Ruler - not the lines.
The Song Position Pointer and Loop Locators can also be moved by typing in new positions in the respective Position
displays in the Sequencer Transport Panel (see “Song Position” and “Left and Right Locator Position”). Another way
of moving the Song Position Pointer is by using the Rewind and Fast Forward controls on the sequencer Transport
Panel (see “Rewind and Fast Forward”).
