Loop view

A clip can be many bars long, and its loop is the range of bars that actually plays. The loop does not have to start at bar 1: you can loop bars 3–4 of an eight-bar part and leave the rest in place for later.

Press Loop to open the Loop view (tap to stay in it, hold for a quick look). The step buttons become a bar selector, one step per bar, and the screen shows the clip's notes.

The bar selector

Light	Bar
Green, pulsing	Playing now
White, pulsing	Selected: the bar shown on the step row when you leave Loop view
Track colour, pulsing	Inside the loop
Near-black	Part of the clip, outside the loop

Works like Move: selecting and looping bars

Gesture	Result
Press a bar	Select it for viewing and editing.
Double-tap a bar	Loop just that bar.
Press two bars	Loop everything between them.
Hold Loop + turn the jog	Grow or shrink the loop a bar at a time.
◀ / ▶	Previous / next bar (outside Loop view too).
Shift + Step 15	Double the loop, notes and all.

Setting a new loop also moves the view into it, so you never edit a bar that isn't playing.

Growing a part. Press ▶ past the last bar and the strip shows a +: an empty bar after the loop. Add a note there and it becomes part of the loop, so a part grows just by playing into the next bar.

The piano roll

While Loop view is up, the screen shows the clip as a piano roll. Only the pitches the clip uses get a row (lowest at the bottom), so a four-note bassline fills the screen with four thick rows. Time runs left to right over the bars of the strip below, and a line sweeps across at the play position.

Notes you record appear as you play them. The knobs do nothing while the piano roll is up.
