Slip

If you turn Slip mode on, normal playback continues in the background (but you can’t hear it) when you perform the following operations.

When you end the operation, Slip is canceled and normal playback starts from the exact point the track would have reached by then. This means the original rhythm remains constant and your performance stays perfectly in time.
