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. when turned off, you won't be able to enter notes.
  • Metronome: toggles the metronome, which only works 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.
