When enabled, as the song plays, the cursor will follow the playback position down the pattern, allowing you to record "live". When disabled, you can freely edit the song while playing, inserting notes wherever you like via the cursor (most useful with pattern looping on).

When disabled, you can freely move the cursor around as the song plays, inserting notes and making edits wherever you like (most useful with pattern looping on).

* '''Block Loop''' - This causes a section of the current pattern to be looped and works independent of the full pattern loop option. The value box to the right allows you to adjust the exact fraction size of the looping section. This is can be very useful to record and edit small sections at a time.

The value box to the right allows you to adjust the exact fraction size of the looping section. If you need to concentrate on recording and editing only a small section of a pattern, then this option can be very useful.


* '''Beats / Min.''' - The current tempo of the song. The value box can also accept values with a decimal point, e.g. 125.5. To do this, double click the value box and enter a new BPM value with the keyboard. To adjust the tempo as the song is playing, you can use the Pattern Effect '''F0XX''', where XX is the new BPM in hexadecimal. See [[Pattern Effects]] for more info.
* '''Beats / Min.''' - The current tempo of the song, also known as BPM. As well as whole numbers, the value box can accept numbers with a decimal point, e.g. 125.5.

To adjust the tempo as the song is playing, you can use the Pattern Effect '''F0XX''', where XX is the new BPM in hexadecimal. See [[Pattern Effects]] for more info.


* '''Lines / Beat.''' - This changes the number of lines in the Pattern Editor that make up a musical beat. The higher the LPB, the greater the resolution available to you to edit notes, effects and automation. This can be also be adjusted as the song is playing via the Pattern Effect '''F1XX''', where XX is the new LPB value in hexadecimal.

Transport Panel

The Transport Panel allows you to control song playback and alter other relevant global options. When the upper frame of the interface is hidden (see Main Screen), the Transport Panel controls will still be usable, as they are collapsed into a small horizontal bar just below the Upper Status Bar.
