top bar

top bar

The top bar is the horizontal strip displayed at the top of waveform and timeline displays (samplers, recorders, video player, etc.). It shows the selected section of the media, ie. the range between the start pos and end pos values, and lets you edit it with the mouse:

  • drag the left or right handle to change the start or end position,
  • drag inside the selected section to move the whole section,
  • click or drag below the top bar to move the play cursor.

show top bar

Shows or hides the top bar. Default ON. When hidden, the selected section can no longer be edited with the mouse, the whole height of the display is used by the waveform and clicking anywhere moves the play cursor.

top bar color

Background color of the top bar.

top bar height

Height of the top bar in pixels, from 0 to 200, default 10.

top bar selector color

Color of the two triangular handles drawn at the start and at the end of the selected section.

top bar selector opacity

Controls how the parts of the display located outside the selected section (before start pos and after end pos) are dimmed with black. At 0 they are completely blacked out, at 1 they are not dimmed at all. Default is 0.5.

On most modules the dimming covers the whole height of the waveform. On the video player it only covers the top bar.

top bar selector width

Width in pixels of the two handles used to drag the start and end positions, from 0 to 200. Larger values make the handles easier to grab, especially on touch screens.
