Dub and Alt
Clicking on any of these buttons will add additional audio tracks or note lanes for overdub purposes. Refer to “Over-
dubbing audio using the “Dub” function” and “Recording notes using the “Dub” and “Alt” functions” for more details
about these functions.
Loop On/Off
D Click the Loop button or press [L] to activate the Loop function.
When the loop function is activated, recording and playback will be continuously looped between the Left and Right
Locators. Some general rules regarding loop mode are these:
• If the Song Position Pointer is to the left of (before) the Right Locator when playback is started, the song will
play to the Right Locator and then immediately jump back and seamlessly continue from the Left Locator.
• If the Song Position Pointer is to the right of (after) the Right Locator when playback is started, the Locators
will be ignored and the song will continue to play “un-looped”.
• If the Left Locator is to the right of the Right Locator, i.e. in “reversed” order, the song will play to the Right Lo-
cator and then immediately jump and seamlessly continue from the Left Locator, skipping the part of the song
in-between the Locators. The song will then continue to play “un-looped”.
Go to Left and Right Locators
D Click on the “L” or “R” button to move the Song Position Pointer to the Left or Right Locators respectively.
D Alternatively, press [1] on the numeric keypad on the computer keyboard to move the Song Position Pointer to
the Left Locator or [2] to move to the Right Locator.
Left and Right Locator Positions
The current positions of the Left and Right Locators in the Ruler (see Ruler details) are shown in the displays. The
display is divided into Bar, Beat, 1/16th Note and Ticks (there are 240 Ticks for each 1/16th Note). You can change
the positions of the Locators, and thus change the loop playback region, according to the descriptions in “Transport
Panel segment displays”.
