Lock sample display to current position

Post by stronzo420 » Fri Dec 14, 2007 3:49 pm

Hi folks,

Any way to have the sample display follow the current position? When I zoom in it stays locked to the place where I'm zoomed in at. I'd like it to follow the "cursor", or the line that marks the point in the song where I currently am.

Thanks.

at the top of the live screen in session and arrangement - there is a button on the left of the transport with an arrow on it - pointing to the right

click that

If you zoom in/out with the +/- keys instead of the mouse while follow is on, it will keep following.
