The tempo map serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it provides enough information about the musical structure of your project for Non-DAW to perform intelligent snapping and draw helpful measure lines. Secondly, the tempo map is communicated to other JACK clients at playback time via the JACK Timebase API, so that MIDI accompaniment can follow along to the tempo changes in your song.

To initiate recording, first arm some tracks by toggling their record buttons, then toggle the global record-enable button on the transport. Recording will begin when you press play. During recording, the timeline darkens and refuses normal input. Regions being captured are colored bright red. The viewport will automatically follow the playhead as the recording progresses. Recording stops when you stop the transport or toggle the global record-button.

Regions are the most common object on the timeline. Each region represents some portion of an audio source placed at some position in time. Since Non-DAW is non-destructive, regions only <b>represent</b> the source--altering a region does not affect the audio source in any way. Deleting a region does not delete the source--as other regions may still refer to it.

Instead of requiring you to duplicate a small region 100 times to achieve a looping effect, Non DAW supports looping directly. First, adjust the region duration to cover the amount of time you would like it to loop for. Then, position the mouse pointer over the first place the loop should repeat (i.e. the first bar line after the start of the region) and hit <tt>L</tt>. This will set the loop point for this region, which will be indicated by two white arrows. At playback, the portion of the region before the loop point will loop for the duration of the region.

Add an annotation sequence to a track by right-clicking on the track header to bring up the context menu, and choosing <i>Add annotation</i>. Any number of annotation sequences may be attached to each track. Click on an empty space in the sequence to add a new annotation point. Right click on the annotation point to rename it. Hold down shift and drag with the right mouse button to create a new annotation region of a given duration. Again, right click to edit the text. Only the first line of annotation region text will be displayed on the timeline. Annotation regions are useful for containing lyrics or other cues which have a definite duration. Annotation points are more appropriately used to denote points of interest or change.

Each track may have any number of control sequences attached to it. A control sequence comprises a series of points in time (X axis) and intensity (Y axis). Add a control sequence to a track by picking <i>Add control</i> from its context menu. A control sequence may be named by right clicking on it to bring up the context menu, then picking <i>Rename</i>. The output of a control sequence can be set to one of two modes <i>Control Voltage (JACK)</i> or <i>Control Signal (OSC)</i>.

<i>Control Voltage</i> is similar to control voltages generated by analog equipment. Setting the Control Sequence mode to Control Voltage will create a JACK output port whose contents simulate an analogue Control Voltage signal. This mode can be used to control anything that accepts CV style input. Useful targets include the Non-Mixer, and SpiralSynthModular.

<p>
|

The <i>Control Signal</i> mode uses a signal routing layer on top of the OSC protocol to intelligently and automatically discover and control any module parameter in Non-Mixer. The output of one Control Sequence may be connected to any number of Control Signal inputs available in Non-Mixer.

Control Signals are more efficient than Control Voltages when a large number of parameters are being automated.

|

cursors can be manipulated in their tracks by dragging with the
|

`Ctrl+[` moves the left range cursor (P1) to the position of the playhead.

`Ctrl+]` moves the right range cursor (P2) to the position of the playhead.
|

The edit cursor defines a region to apply an operation to. The edit
|

cursor is also used to define the region other cursors, such as
|
||||
Punch and Playback, are created from.
|
||||
|
||||
The range cursors can be set individually with the mouse by positioning the
|
||||
pointer over the desired location and pressing `[` or `]`. Alternatively,
|

both may be set at once by holding `R` and left-click+dragging the selection
