# Timer Control

![timer control in app](https://2899617949-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-Mc0giSOToAhq0ROd0CR%2Fuploads%2Fud4H4DyOQkHqfipPOLA7%2F05%20timer.jpg?alt=media\&token=cccd8214-8b1b-4860-b210-6b0b4946b456)

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](../../../control-and-feedback/osc#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](../../features/roll)
* **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](../../control-and-feedback/osc), meaning that an OSC device can increment / decrement any amount of time:

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