Position Display
The current song position is shown in two formats:
Above: SMPTE time
Hours: Minutes: Seconds: Frames/Subframes.
Below: bar position
Bar—Beat—Division—Ticks.
A beat corresponds to the denominator in the time signature, a division is a freely-
definable part of a beat. A tick is the smallest possible bar sub-division or system
quantization—of just 1/3840 note.
Under Preferences > Display > General you’ll find the Clock Format pull-down menu,
which offers options that allow you to change the Bar Position display considerably:
The various options are:
• Clock Format 1 1 1 1
• Clock Format 1. 1. 1. 1
• Clock Format 1 1 1 0
• Clock Format 1. 1. 1. 0
• Clock Format 1 1. _ 1
• Clock Format 1. 1. _ 1
• Clock Format 1 1. _ 0
• Clock Format 1. 1. _ 0
Locators
You can define two sets of locator points: one for the Cycle (see “Cycle Mode” on
page 100), and the other for the Autodrop (see “Autodrop” on page 104) zone. The left-
hand side locators on the Transport window define the Cycle—a passage that is
constantly repeated.
The locators shown at the bottom/to the right on the Transport window define the
Autodrop range (see Autodrop)
Note: Both sets of locators are only displayed when the Cycle and Autodrop functions
(buttons on the Transport) are switched on.
