Note: Any mention of the “left or right locators” refers to the Cycle locators, rather than
the Autodrop locators. The top value denotes the left locator position, and the bottom
one, the right locator position.
Adjusting Locators to Fit Selected Regions
Set Locators by Regionsmatches the locator positions with the start and end points of
one (or more) selected Region(s). The Set Rounded Locators by Regions key command
rounds the locator positions to whole bars.
Key commands for Locators
• The global Move Locators forward by Cycle Length and Move Locators backwards by
Cycle Length key commands move the cycled passage by it’s own length.
• The Swap Left and Right Locator key command exchanges both cycle locator points.
• The Set Locators by Marker & Enable Cycle, Set Locators by previous Marker & Enable
Cycle and Set Locators by next Marker & Enable Cycle key commands are self-
explanatory.
Tempo/Free Memory
Tempo
Tempo is displayed as quarter notes per minute, or beats per minute (bpm). It ranges
from 5 to 9999 bpm, and is adjustable to four decimal places after the whole value.
Programming Tempo Changes
This functionality is described in the Tempo chapter (see “Display and Functions” on
page 597).
Free Memory
Below the Tempo display, you will see the amount of free memory (events) available in
the record buffer. You can increase the amount of free memory by reconfiguring the
memory.
To reconfigure the memory:
1 Use the Empty Trash key command. This is necessary, as the items in Trash memory
aren’t reconfigured/reclaimed as usable “events”.
2 Double-click on the free memory display.
3 A “Reorganize Memory?” dialog will appear.
4 Confirm by clicking the Reorganize button.
This reorganization is also carried out automatically after saving or loading a song. A
common (and good) use of this feature is to free up memory after closing a song, if
two or more songs were open at the same time.
