Transport
The transport controls are similar to a tape recorder's transport controls.
The transport controls
The transport is controlled by four buttons (from left to right):
- Home (go to start of song)
- Rewind
- Fast Forward
- Start/Stop
When the transport is started all tracks that are in playback mode will play back, and all tracks that are in record mode will record. If there are no tracks that are in either playback or record mode the transport will not start.
Tip: you can hit the space bar instead of clicking the start/stop button.
Cycle Transport
After clicking the Start button's down arrow you can select "Start cycling", which will make the transport cycle through a region until you stop the transport. The cycle region starts at the current transport position. The end of the region can be picked from a list that appears right after you click "Start cycling". This list contains the Markers and the end of the song (ie. the length of the longest track). If you're doing a punch-in recording the point two seconds after the end of the punch region appears in the list as well. The "Cycle selected part of focused track" option cycles the part that's selected in the focused track's editor.The Overview Bar shows the cycle region while cycling.
Note: in cycle mode the transport is actually stopped and started again when a new cycle starts, so there's a gap in the sound.
