Transport Buttons
This area of the Transport bar contains buttons that literally transport the playhead
through the project.
For an explanation of the individual functions and commands, see Using the Transport
Buttons .
Display Area
This area of the Transport bar primarily informs you of the playhead and locator positions,
but can also be used to navigate through the project.
• Positions (SMPTE/Bar): The top row indicates the current position of the playhead in
SMPTE format (hours : minutes : seconds : frames), the bottom row in bars, beats,
divisions, and ticks.
• Locators (Left/Right): The top row indicates the left locator position, the bottom row
the right locator position. Locators are used to define a particular section of the project
for a number of recording or playback tasks. You can display locators in the Transport
bar in terms of Bar or Time, by Control-clicking (or right-clicking) the display area and
turning on/off the Display Locators as Time option. In Transport views which are part
of Arrange windows, this option should automatically follow the Ruler mode.
• Sample Rate or Punch Locators: The display shows the current project sample rate, or
punch recording in/out locators (when punch recording mode is enabled). As with
other Transport bar display fields, you can set the sample rate or punch locators with
the mouse or via direct numerical entry.
• Varispeed: The Varispeed display allows you to speed up or slow down a project between
–50% and +100% (which equals between 50% and 200% of the original tempo). The
top row indicates the Varispeed mode (Speed Only, Varispeed, Varispeed and MIDI),
the bottom row the Varispeed value and unit.
• Tempo/Project End: The Tempo display indicates the current playback or recording
speed. The Project End display shows the total number of bars. It behaves as stop
playback/recording marker for the project.
