Transport Panel - Cubasis - 3.7

Tapping the Play button starts playback (with the black vertical playhead indicating the current position in your song). During playback it shows a stop button. Tapping it again pauses playback (the playhead stops and stays at its current position).

Skipping forward positions the playhead at the next Locators's position or the end of your project (the end of the bar holding your last event).

Tapping this button does the exact opposite of skipping forward.

Toggles whether playback is looped between the two locators, i.e. when the playhead reaches the right locator it automatically jumps back to the left.

Starts/stops recording. To specify which track(s) you want to record on, use Record Enable.

Turns the metronome (click on every beat) on/off. Adjust metronome and precount settings in the setup screen.

The display to the left of the transport buttons indicates the current position of the playhead. The first figure refers to the bar, the second one to the current beat (which depends on the denominator of the time signature) and the third to the position within the beat, measured in 1/16 notes. Tap the display to switch to a minute:second.millisecond view.

The tempo display shows the tempo in BPM (beats per minute) and the time signature (e.g. 4/4). Tap it to open a popup, where you can slide across the bpm value to change it. For more precise tempo adjustments, use the + / - buttons. Alternatively, you can tap your desired tempo on the Tap Tempo button. Tempo and signature cannot be set if a tempo or signature track is active, respectively.

Tap the tempo display to see the four available recording options, which you can combine.

• Punch in . Recording will only start once the playhead reaches the left locator.

• Punch out . Recording will stop once the playhead reaches the right locator, but playback will continue.

• Pre-Roll . The song will be played back during precount.

• Count in . The metronome will be audible during precount.
