Placing a Marker

You can place a marker when the project is stopped or when it’s playing.

To Place a Marker

1. Press TAP to place a marker at the timeline’s current location. The
marker appears as a downward-pointing arrow above the home
screen’s playlist in the location at which you hit TAP.

How Marker Numbers are Assigned

When a marker is placed, it’s assigned a number—this number serves as the marker’s
name unless you manually edit it (Page 190). A marker’s number reflects its position in
a chronological list of all of the markers in a project. If new markers are placed in the
project, any markers that follow them are renumbered to reflect their new, later
position in the marker list.

Moving the Timeline to a Marker

Using the Locate to Marker Window

You can jump to any marker’s position in the project at any time.
1. Press MARKER—the Locate to Marker window appears.
2. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to place an arrow to the left of
the desired marker—ENTER/YES turns on.
3. Press ENTER/YES to jump to the marker’s location.
4. Press EXIT/NO to close the window.

Using PREVIOUS and NEXT

You can jump from one marker to the next, or back using the
PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons:
•

Hold down SHIFT and press NEXT

—to jump to the next marker in
the project after the timeline’s current position.
•

Hold down SHIFT and press PREVIOUS

—to jump to the last marker
in the project before the timeline’s current position.
There must be at least 0.1 seconds of time between any two markers.
You can also clear a marker from the Clear Marker window, as described on Page 190.
You can change the behavior of the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons so you don’t have to
hold SHIFT. As shipped from the factory, they’re set to move from phrase to phrase on
the selected track (Page 239). To change the buttons’ behavior, switch the PREVIOUS/
NEXT Sw Utility menu parameter (Page 363) to MARKER.
We’ve placed three
markers, as shown by
the arrows above the
playlist.
