Click-holding the Sync button opens a pull-down menu, where you can define the
following:
• the type of external synchronization.
• whether MMC commands (see “MIDI Machine Control” on page 616) should be
transmitted by Logic’s Transport buttons, allowing remote control of MIDI capable
tape machines.
• direct access to the tempo editors (see “Display and Functions” on page 597).
• direct access to the Synchronization settings.
Metronome
This button (default: C) is used to turn the metronome on and off. Logic remembers
the Metronome status for recording and playback.
Click-holding the Metronome button offers pull-down menu access to the Recording
and Metronome Settings.
The Bar Ruler
There is a Bar Ruler at the top of the Arrange, Matrix, Hyper, and Score windows.
This ruler is used to display, and set, the:
• song position.
• start and end of the song or folder.
• cycle and autodrop locators.
• markers (see “Markers” on page 157).
Color and Display
The Bar Ruler changes color depending on the transport mode:
• Red—Record
• Yellow—Solo
• Blue—External Synchronization.
Dependent on the zoom settings (see “Zooming” on page 24), the bars are shown at
the top edge in units of 1, 4, 8, or 16. Changes in time signature are also shown here.
