"Ctrl + Shift" +cursor keys enables you to lengthen or shorten the playback
area by a bar. Use this function as well to quickly move the playback area onto
a smooth bar length.
When you move the playback area while a playback is running, the old area is
always played to the end and smoothly changed into the new one after. In this
way you can remix your tracks in real-time with the keyboard!
Note: If the starting marker does not move to the right with a left click or via
the keyboard, it is because the end marker would then have to be shifted
beyond the end of the arrangement. In this case, move the start marker via
drag & drop or position the end marker!
Moving the playback marker
The playback marker can be moved independent of the start marker. To do
this, click on the lower part of the timeline. If you hold "Ctrl", the playback
marker and start marker are moved simultaneously.
Once the playback marker reaches the end marker, playback is continued at
the position of the start marker. If the playback marker was positioned outside
of the playback range, the arrangement is played to the end. The selected play
area is then played as a loop.
Transport bar (playback functions)
The transport bar's functions enable you to control the playback behavior of
the arrangement using the mouse.
Tip: The space bar on your computer's keyboard may be used to start and
stop playback much more easily. You will find an overview of all keyboard
shortcuts at the end of this manual.
Back to start: This button quickly moves the start marker to the
beginning of the arrangement. Clicking "Back to start" displays both
the start marker and play range at the beginning of the arrangement.
