SMPTE View Offset
This menu option launches the Song Settings > Synchronization > General tab, allowing
you to define the Bar Position and/or SMPTE time for both the actual song position and
the SMPTE view offset.
Giant SMPTE Display/Giant Bar Display
This converts the Transport window into a large display of the current SMPTE time, or
current bar position.
You can switch back to the normal display, by reusing the same menu functions.
Sections in the Transport Window
The following options allow you to hide/show different parts of the Transport window
independently. This in turn, allows you to control the size of the Transport window.
• Control Buttons Display (Play, Stop, Rewind,…)
• Mode Buttons Display (Cycle, Autodrop,…)
• Position Display
• Locator Display
• Tempo/Signature Display
• MIDI Activity Display
If several parts are used, the individual elements are displayed horizontally, next to one
another. This allows you to configure a long, narrow, horizontal Transport window.
When you switch to Giant SMPTE Display or Giant Bar Display the whole window is used
for the giant display of either the SMPTE time, or the bar display. These options, plus
the ability to open several Transport windows provides a great deal of freedom in
sizing and shaping these displays to meet your needs.
All Elements Horizontal
This option achieves the same effect as if you had selected all available display sections,
one after the other: a very narrow, horizontal Transport bar.
All Elements Normal
This option arranges all available display sections in two rows, resulting in a standard
(or “normal”) Transport configuration.
