Using Markers to Set Song Position and Locators

…in the Bar Ruler

If you click on a marker in the Bar Ruler while holding Command, the current song

position will be set to the startpoint of the selected marker.

When you drag a marker up into the top third of the Bar Ruler, this will set a cycle of

the same position and length as the marker (and thus the locator positions). If the

sequencer is stopped when performing this action, the SPL will be set to the marker

startpoint.

…with key commands

There are several key commands that set the SPL to the beginning of a particular

marker, and adjust the locator positions to match the marker’s start and endpoints. The

first three commands in the following list will also activate Cycle mode:

• Set Locators by Marker and Enable Cycle

• Set Locators by previous Marker and Enable Cycle

• Set Locators by next Marker and Enable Cycle

• Goto previous Marker

• Goto next Marker

• Goto Marker Number #

• Goto Marker number 1—20 (20 different commands)

The “Marker Numbers” in these commands refer to the (serial) order of all markers in

the song.

…in the Marker windows

Clicking on one of the arrow buttons in the Marker Text window, or clicking on a

marker with the Pointer tool in the Marker List window will also set the current song

position to the startpoint of the corresponding marker, and the locators to the

beginning and end of the marker.

Summary of Marker Mouse Actions

Without Modifier keys:

• Grabbing a marker, and pulling it upwards, sets a Cycle zone that corresponds to the

length of the marker.

• Grabbing a Cycle, and pulling it down into the marker area on the Bar Ruler creates a

new marker that corresponds to the position and length of the Cycle. Should the

startpoint of the cycled section fall inside the boundaries of an existing marker, the

marker’s position and length will be adjusted to match those of the Cycle.

• Grabbing the marker, dragging it below the Bar Ruler, and releasing the mouse

button deletes the marker (Undo is possible).

All other mouse actions without modifier keys in the marker area of the Bar Ruler have

no effect on markers. Such actions affect the current song position; SPL placement

(clicking), scrubbing (dragging), and Start/Stop (double-clicking).
