Rewind and Fast Forward
D Click on the Rewind or Fast Forward buttons to move the Song Position Pointer in steps of one bar (from its
current position).
D To move the Song Position Pointer several bars at once, click and hold the mouse button depressed.
Instead of clicking the buttons, you can use the computer keyboard:
D Press [4] on the numeric keypad for Rewind and [5] for Fast Forward.
D If you click and hold the Rewind or Fast Forward buttons, or press and hold the [4] or [5] keys, the positioning
speed will be faster after the first 20 bars.
Play and Stop
D Click the Play button to start playback from the Song Position Pointer’s current position.
D Alternatively, press [Enter] on the numeric keypad on the computer keyboard.
D Click the Stop button to stop playback (or recording).
D Alternatively, press [0] on the numeric keypad or [Shift]+[Return] on the computer keyboard.
If you click the Stop button, or use the keyboard “Stop” commands, when the song is already stopped, the Song Po-
sition Pointer is moved according to the following rules:
• Clicking/pressing Stop the first time moves the Song Position Pointer to where playback was last started.
• Clicking/pressing Stop a second time moves the Song Position Pointer to the beginning of the song.
• If the Song Position Pointer already is at the beginning of the song, nothing happens.
This means you can always click twice on the Stop button in “stop mode”, to return to the beginning of the song.
D Press [Spacebar] on the computer keyboard to toggle between Play and Stop.
Record
D Click the Record button to begin recording on the selected track/lane in your song.
Alternatively, press [*] on the numeric keypad or hold down [Ctrl](Win) or [Cmd](Mac) and press [Return] on the
computer keyboard. If Pre-count has been activated (see Pre(-count) On/Off above), the recording will begin after
the set number of pre-count bars.
! Nothing you play during the pre-count period will be recorded.
Dub and Alt
Clicking on any of these buttons will add additional note lanes for overdub purposes. Refer to “Recording notes using
the “Dub” and “Alt” functions” for more details about these functions.
