Fast Forward and Rewind

With these two buttons you can move forward or backwards in
the song. You can influence the shuttle speed with the mouse.
Click on the fast-forward button, and hold down the mouse
button, and Logic fun shuttles at a faster speed. The further
you move the mouse to the right, the faster the Logic fun will
shuttle. The rewind function works in a similar manner, except,
of course that you would move the mouse to the left, to increase
the shuttle speed.
