The Time Display

 

The Time Display shows the current cursor position, MTC input, MTC output, or MIDI clock output time. The right-hand field always displays the cursor position in measures.beats.ticks format, and the left-hand field displays the cursor position (using the time ruler format) or the MIDI timecode/MTC status.
