Turning Time Lock On and Off
A Track can at any time be switched in and out of Time lock mode. But when you
switch a Track out of time locked mode the Events will of course stay at their cur-
rent time position. This means that if you have made any tempo changes since you
Time Locked the Tracks, the Events on those Tracks will not be at “sensible” meter
positions when you turn off Time Lock.
Editing Time Locked Tracks
When editing Time Locked Tracks, please observe the following:
• When moving Parts on Time Locked Tracks, set the Snap value to Off.
This is since Time Locked Tracks are not related to Meter Position the way
usual Tracks and the Snap value are.
• Remember that you can click the Mouse box to make the Mouse position
and the Bar Display switch to show time code values instead of bars and
beats.
The same applies in the MIDI editors.
• The Song Position can be always used as a converter between bar and
time positions at the current tempo.
If you for example know the time and need the bar position, input the bar
beat and tick in the Song Position box and read back the time value in the
Time Position box (and vice versa).
Creating Multiple Tempi
When scoring for film and video it is not unusual to need a piece fading over into
the next which is played in another tempo. Here are the necessary steps, in brief.
1. Finish the first piece, the one that the Song begins with.
2. Time lock the existing Tracks.
3. Insert a tempo change where the new piece begins, even if this is before
the end of the last.
The previous piece will then not be affected by the new tempo.
4. Create new Tracks for the second piece and record it.
Things To Note
• When you time lock a Track with Ghost Parts, they are automatically
converted into real Parts.
• Group Tracks and Tape Tracks can not be Time Locked.
