Transport Functions

4.4 Transport Functions
The second, smaller window, which Logic fun shows after load-
ing the song, is the Floating Transport window. It is laid out like
the control surface of a tape machine, and is used for operating
the Play and Record functions. In addition, you can change the
tempo settings and engage Cycle.
Let's start the song. Instead of clicking the Play button, you can
=
also press on your numeric keypad.
You can hear that the song is not completely arranged, and still
contains some inconsistencies. As you continue to work
through this chapter, you will finish arranging the song, add a
few details, and correct any mistakes.
In this section, you will learn to start and limit passages, and
listen to places in the song—in short, to "navigate" in the song.
•
Try out the buttons in the upper row of the transport field.
You already are familiar with functions from tape machines
or cassette recorders.

Start Song Positions

There are several ways to jump to specific song positions.
In the upper field of the Arrange window, you can see the bar
ruler.
•
Click at various places in the lower field of this ruler; you
immediately jump to that position. At the same time, a gray
line appears. This is the song position line (SPL)—in the
most generalsense, it is comparable with the position of the
tape on a traditional recording device.
