play/edit controls

The "Play/Edit Controls" are used to control playback and change parameters of the pattern view.

Play: Plays from cursor position.
Stop: Stops all playback.
Play from the beginning of this pattern: Plays from the start of current pattern.
Repeat from the beginning of this pattern: Repeats current pattern from its start.
Step one row: Plays only the row at cursor position and moves down one.
Edit: Toggles edit mode. If off, nothing can be edited in the pattern window. (Great for playing around on the keyboard!)
Metronome: Toggles the metronome, which only sounds during playback.
Repeat pattern: Toggles pattern repeat. During playback while this is on, the current pattern will play over and over instead of following the order list.
Poly: Turns on polyphony for previewing notes. Toggles to Mono for monophony (one note at a time only).
Octave: Sets current input octave.
Step: Sets edit step. If this is 1, entering a note or effect will move to the next row. If this is a larger number, rows will be skipped. If this is 0, the cursor will stay in place.
Follow orders: If on, the selected order in the orders window will follow the song during playback.
Follow pattern: If on, the cursor will follow playback and the song will scroll by as it plays.
