Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

Page 38

The first part is the bar number; the second is the beat number

within the bar (the beat is equal to the denominator of the time

signature); and the third is the tick number within the beat (there

are 96 ticks to a quarter note). Bars and beats start at 1; ticks start

at 0.

To the right of the above-described bar.beat.tick number is another

four-part number, displayed in parentheses. This field shows the

current position of the sequence as a function of elapsed time from

the beginning of the sequence, in hours, minutes, seconds, and

frames. However, the number displayed when the sequence is set to

the start is not necessarily 00:00:00:00, but rather is equal to the

SMPTE start time. SMPTE operation is described in the chapter 10:

“Syncing to Tape and Other Devices”.

This field is for display only and cannot be edited directly with the

cursor. It is normally changed by using the REWIND, FAST FOR-

WARD and LOCATE keys, described in the “Play/Record Keys”

section of this chapter. These fields change in real time while the

sequence plays. However, the right-most part of each field—the ticks

and frames parts—are replaced with two dashes (—) while playing

because they would otherwise change too quickly to be useful.

The four soft keys are:

• The <Tk on/off> soft key:

Pressing this soft key toggles the Track On/Off field between YES

and NO.

• The <Solo=OFF> soft key:

Pressing this soft key turns solo mode ON or OFF. If set to ON, only

the active track is heard and all other tracks are temporarily muted.

The text of the soft key indicates whether solo mode is ON or OFF.

• The <Track-> soft key:

Pressing this soft key decrements the active track number by one.

• The <Track+> soft key:

Pressing this soft key increments the active track number by one.
