Loop Regions

The loop region lets you define a section of the timeline that plays (and records) repeatedly. It’s useful for practicing a part, recording multiple takes over the same section, or simply hearing a section on repeat while you adjust a mix.

Enabling the Loop

Tap the 🔁 loop button to the left of the Audio/MIDI tab switcher. When active, the icon turns blue.

When the loop is active, a blue marker (loop start) and an orange marker (loop end) appear on the timeline. Playback wraps from the loop end back to the loop start automatically.

If no loop points have been set yet, enabling the loop does nothing until you define at least a start or end point.

Setting Loop Points

Method: Long-Press on the Timeline

The quickest way to set loop points is to long-press any blank area of a track row on the timeline. This opens an action menu:

Choose the loop entry from that menu to open the loop popup:

The loop options popup with the Position editor and Set Start/Set End buttons

The popup shows a Position editor at the top (in milliseconds and M:SS format), plus two buttons:

Button	Action
Set Loop Start	Places the blue start marker at the position shown
Set Loop End	Places the orange end marker at the position shown

The position captures the playhead’s exact location at the moment you started the long-press — not when you tap the button — so the marker lands where you intended even if the transport is running and you’re quick about it.

Auto-End After N Measures

In the loop popup, you can enter a number in the “Auto-end after ___ measures” field. When set:

Tapping Set Start also automatically places the end marker N measures later
This is the fastest way to loop an exact number of bars: seek to the start of a section, long-press, type “4”, tap Set Start → done

Fine-Tuning the Position

The Position editor in the popup shows the captured playhead time in milliseconds. You can type a new value to place the marker at a precise position.

The M:SS hint (e.g. “(1:30)”) updates as you type so you can verify the position in human-readable time.

Clearing Loop Points

To remove the loop region:

Long-press a track row to open the loop popup
Set the start and end to the same position (or simply disable the loop toggle)

Or just tap the 🔁 loop button again to disable the loop without removing the markers — the markers stay on the timeline and will be active again the next time you enable the loop.

Looping During Playback and Recording

When the loop is active:

Playback wraps seamlessly from the loop end to the loop start
Recording also wraps — you can lay down multiple takes over the same section in one continuous pass. Each wrap creates a new clip starting from the loop start position.
MIDI playback restarts cleanly on each loop wrap — note-offs are sent for all active notes before re-scheduling from the loop start. This prevents stuck notes.

Loop Markers on the Timeline

The loop start (blue) and end (orange) markers appear as thin vertical lines with a small handle at the top. They’re visible on all track rows simultaneously.

The markers are display-only and cannot be dragged — use the long-press popup to reposition them.

Tips

Use Auto-end after N measures to instantly loop an exact musical section without counting time in milliseconds
During a recording session, set a loop around your verse or chorus and leave recording running — each pass adds a new take that you can later choose from
The loop region is saved with the project, so your loop points persist between sessions
