The playhead shows you the current play position.
At any time you can jump to another position in your Project:
â–º Click anywhere in the timeline to move the playhead to that position in the Project.
Depending on the playback state, the following will happen:
â–ª If playback is off, the playhead jumps to the closest Perform Grid division. If the Perform
Grid is set to Off (i.e. disabled), the playhead jumps to the exact position you have clicked.
If the Perform Grid is set to Quick, the playhead jumps to the beginning of the bar you
have clicked in.
â–ª If playback is on, the playhead jumps to the closest position near your mouse cursor and
retains the playhead position relative to the Perform Grid division. This allows seamless
jumps that don’t break the rhythm of your music. If the Perform Grid is set to Off (i.e. disa-
bled) or Quick, the playhead position is retained relative to the current bar.
You can also change the playback position by switching to another Scene. The moment at which the
jump will occur depends on the Perform Grid setting. See section ↑11.1.6, Adjusting the Arrange
Grid and the Pattern Length for more information.
From your controller, you can control the playback position in two different resolutions.
