If playback is on, the playhead jumps to the closest position near your mouse cursor that
retains the current playhead position relative to the Pattern Grid division. This allows seam-
less jumps that don’t break the rhythm of your music. If the Pattern Grid is set to
Off
(i.e.
disabled) or
Quick
, the playhead position is retained relative to the current bar.
For more information on the Pattern Grid, see section
6.1.6, Adjusting the Pattern Grid
.
Example with playback on: Assuming that your Pattern is four bars long and the Pattern Grid
resolution is set to one bar, if you click around the
1.4
mark (4th beat of the 1st bar) in the
timeline when the playhead reaches the
3.3
mark (3rd beat of the 3rd bar), the playhead will
jump from the
3.3
to the
1.3
mark (3rd beat of the 1st bar) and continue from there.
