Tempo and Time Signature
The tempo and time signature settings can be adjusted on the transport panel.
The left tempo field sets the tempo in bpm, and the tempo field to the right al-
lows you to fine tune the tempo, in steps of 1/1000 bpm.
D You can specify any tempo between 1 and 999.999 bpm (beats per
minute).
D You can also adjust the tempo (in bpm steps) by using the [+] and
[–] keys on the numeric keypad.
D You set the time signature by specifying a numerator (left value
field) and a denominator (right value field).
The numerator is the number of beats per bar, and the denominator governs
the length of a beat.
Song Position
The song position in Bars, Beats and 16th notes is shown (in that order) in the
three fields below the transport controls. You can set the positions by using the
spin controls.
D You can also set the position by double clicking on a Pos value box,
typing in a new position (in the format “Bars.Beats.16th notes”) and
pressing [Return].
If you only type one or two numbers, the remaining numbers will be set to
their lowest values (e.g. type “5” to set the position to “5.1.1”)
Left and Right Locator Positions
The left and right locators are used for several things, like setting the boundaries
of a loop or inserting/removing bars. You can set the positions for both locators
by using the spin controls on the transport panel or by double clicking and typ-
ing a position value.
Loop On/Off
In loop mode, the sequencer will repeat a section over and over again, during
playback or recording. You specify the section to be looped by setting the left
and right locator.
Overdub/Replace Switch
When recording over a previously recorded section, this switch governs the fol-
lowing:
D In Overdub mode, the new recording is added to whatever was on
the Track before.
D In Replace mode, the new recording replaces any previously re-
corded notes.
! Note that controllers and pattern changes aren’t affected by this -
recording controllers will always replace any previously recorded
controller values. However, you may still want to set the switch to
Overdub mode, to avoid accidentally removing some recorded
notes in the area.
