SEQUENCER FUNCTIONS
90
Pre(-count) On/Off
D Click the Pre button to hear a pre-count (count-in) click sound before recording.
Pre-count will only be present before recording - not before regular playback. See “Click and Pre-count” for details
about selecting number of pre-count bars etc.
Click Level
D Adjust the audio level of the metronome (and Pre-count) click by turning this knob.
See “Click and Pre-count” for more details.
Tap Tempo
Instead of setting the Tempo with the Tempo control (see below), you can manually tap in the desired tempo in real-
time.
D Click the Tap Tempo button repeatedly to set desired sequencer tempo.
The tempo is defined by averaging the time between a minimum of two clicks and a maximum of 16 clicks. The
more clicks, the more “steady” the tempo. The time-out between two series of clicks is 2 seconds. The detectable
tap tempo range is 30-999.999 BPM.
Song Position
The current song position is shown in the display. The song position is where the Song Position Pointer in the Ruler
(see Ruler details) is at the moment. The display is divided into Bars, Beats, 1/16th Note and Ticks (there are 240
Ticks for each 16th note) segments. You can edit the position of the Song Position Pointer, and thus change the
song playback position, according to the descriptions in “Transport Panel segment displays”.
About subticks in the Song Position display
When editing notes and automation events in the sequencer you have a resolution of 240 ticks per 1/16th note,
which allows for very accurate positioning. But for the Song Position Pointer, the internal resolution is even higher
(15360 ppq) which means that the position can end up on a fraction of a tick, a so called subtick.
If the Song Position Pointer value is on a fraction of a tick, this is displayed with an asterisk (*) in the Tick section of
the Song Position display.
D To adjust the Song Position Pointer to the closest tick value, press [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and click on the
asterisk in the display.
The Song Position Pointer will now adjust to the closest tick value and the asterisk disappears.
Time
The current position of the Song Position Pointer in the Ruler (see Ruler details) is shown in time format (hours, min-
utes, seconds and milliseconds) in the display. You can change the position in time of the Song Position Pointer, and
thus change the song playback time position, according to the descriptions in “Transport Panel segment displays”.
