The default tempo (Default: 120) can be changed on the Status page of
the Preferences folder (Options menu).
Double Selection The Double Selection button does exactly what
its name implies – it doubles the current
selection. When you are creating loops, it is very
handy to be able to select (highlight) a single
measure and then use the Double Selection tool
to automatically increase the selection to two or
four measures. Shortcut:Apostrophe
Half Selection The Half Selection tool is as logical; it halves the
current selection. Again, it is rather convenient
to select a four measure section and then reduce
that selection to one or two measures. Shortcut:
Semi-colon
Shift Selection Left, Right The Shift Selection Left and Shift Selection Right
buttons perform tasks which mirror each other.
Once you have selected (highlighted) a portion
of the track, you can move it left (Shift Selection
Left) or right (Shift Selection Right) by the
length of the selection using the appropriate tool.
Because the exact length of the selection is
maintained, this tool is perfect for moving the
selection a beat or measure at a time. Shortcut(Shift
Left): Less Than Symbol.Shortcut(Shift Right): Greater Than

Rotate Audio The Rotate Audio tool is best used to change the
feel of a given loop. It works by taking selected
audio at the beginning or end of the file and
moving to the other end of the file. Shortcut:Colon
