# Timer Control

![timer control in app](/files/3Z60LvV65Y6zezrpJqM2)

The component offers control over the playback of the currently selected event (event in green on event list). All the buttons in the interface are also available over the [OSC API](/ontime-v1-old/control-and-feedback/osc.md#osc-control-api-default-port-8888)

* **Play**
* **Pause**
* **Roll** - Roll is an advanced tool that enables ontime to run unnatended. The application will use the system clock to run the events as schedule. See [Roll](/ontime-v1-old/features/roll.md)
* **Previous**
* **Next**
* **Unload** - De-selects any running event
* **Reload** - Stops and resets running timer
* **-1 -5 +1 +5** - Increments / decrements currently running timer (time in minutes)

{% hint style="info" %}
Although the options for increment / decrement are limited to 1 and 5 minutes in the app. This limitation does not exist in the [OSC integration](/ontime-v1-old/control-and-feedback/osc.md), meaning that an OSC device can increment / decrement any amount of time:

*/ontime/delay 10*\
\&#xNAN;*/ontime/delay -20*
{% endhint %}
