About Snap
When you select and edit material (both in the Arrange and Edit mode), the Snap
function affects the result. By activating Snap, editing becomes “restricted” to the
note values selected on the Snap pop-up menu (the Snap value). The Snap button
and pop-up menu are located on the sequencer toolbar: You can also toggle Snap
on/off by pressing [S].
! Note that you can select different Snap values for arranging and for edit-
ing the contents of open clips. See page 80.
Snap has an effect on the following operations:
D Moving the Song position, Locators and End marker.
When you adjust these markers with Snap activated, they will be “magnetic” to the
Snap value.
D Moving clips and events.
When you move one or several clips or events with Snap activated, they will keep
their relative distance to the Snap value positions.
D Drawing clips.
When you create clips with the Pencil tool, their start and end positions will be
magnetic to the snap value positions. See page 74.
D Drawing events in open clips.
The Snap value determines the smallest note position on which you can draw a
note or an automation point. Furthermore, the Snap value determines the smallest
length of notes when you draw. See page 81.
D Using the Razor tool to split clips.
See “Splitting clips”.
D Nudging clips or events.
See “Nudging clip positions” and “Nudging event positions”.
Editing clips in Arrange
mode
The Arrange mode allows you to view several tracks at the same time, and provides a
good overview of the song. This view is used for clip-based editing, such as rearrang-
ing clips, adding or removing bars or applying quantizing and editing functions to clips
on different tracks and lanes at the same time.
D To select Arrange mode, click the Arrange/Edit mode button in the top
left corner of the sequencer area.
You can also toggle between Arrange mode and Edit mode by pressing [Shift]-
[Tab] or [Command]/[Ctrl]-[E].
Selecting clips
A clip is selected by clicking on it (with the Arrow tool). A selected clip has a black
border and two handles at each end of the clip.
Use this pop-up menu to select the Snap value.

Snap on or off.
