Play
Starts playback at the current position, or from the left locator position when in Cycle
mode.
You can use the Play from beginning key command to start playback at the beginning
of the song.
Stop
Ends recording or playback—the sequencer stops. If the sequencer is already stopped,
pressing stop moves the song position line to the song start point, or to the left locator
position if Cycle mode is active.
Rewind/Forward
If the sequencer is stopped, these buttons work as you would expect. If the sequencer
is running, you can monitor as you go (cueing/scrubbing), with MIDI events being
output at a faster rate. This also occurs when rewinding.
A click on either button will jump one bar forward or backward. Click-holding on either
button will rewind or forward. Moving the mouse left or right will increase or decrease
the rewind/forward speed.
Note: Both normal (Rewind/Forward) and fast (Fast Rewind/Fast Forward) winding are
available from the keyboard.
Shuttle—Winding Like a Reel-to-Reel Tape Recorder
There are two key commands for “winding the reels”—moving the Song Position
Line—called Shuttle Rewind and Shuttle Forward. You will find them in the Key
Commands window (see “Key Commands” on page 36) by searching for the Shuttle
character string. Repeated hits of the key will increase the winding speed. Repeated
hits of the opposing “shuttle” key will slow down the shuttle speed, and eventually
change the winding direction. Shuttle disables Cycle mode. Shuttling is halted by the
Stop command.
