The Pilot Zone
• You can zoom in and out to see your project in more de-
tail by clicking and holding in the lower portion of the ruler
bar and dragging up or down.
Dragging up zooms out and dragging down zooms in.
• You can also create a loop region for Cycle mode by
clicking and dragging the mouse in the upper portion of
the ruler.
You’ll notice that the pointer turns into a pencil, if you position the mouse
in this ruler area.
Grid Snap Status
The Grid Snap Status is displayed on the right-hand side
of the ruler.
When the Grid Snap Status icon is green, grid snap is ac-
tivated. This is will cause all editing you do to snap to the
grid. The grid resolution is determined by how far in or out
you are zoomed. See “Zooming in the Arrange Zone” on
page 56 for more information.
Click on the Grid Snap Status icon to deactivate grid
snap. The icon will turn red meaning that the grid status is
in free mode. In free mode, events and event edits will no
longer snap to the grid.
Ö You can also press [J] on your computer keyboard to
toggle between snap and free mode.
The Tuner
Sequel features a built-in tuner used for tuning instruments
like a guitar or bass before recording.
When the Tuner is activated for the selected track, that
track will become soloed. All track effects are bypassed
and sends are disabled and the Pilot Zone display is re-
placed by the Tuner display.
When deactivated, solo is cancelled and all instruments,
EQ, and effects are returned to normal.
Ö See “Tuning your instrument” on page 15 to find out
how the Tuner works.
