Invoking & stopping

How to invoke all types of playbacks

In long playbacks you can freely increase/decrease or move the visible area using the shortcuts explained here.

Selection playback

To play the selected note or notes press:

• for audio only playback space key,

• for midi only playback shift + space key ,

• for audio & midi playback ctrl + space key.

You can also go to the menu Play -> Selection -> Audio Only/Midi Only/Audio & Midi.

Visible range playback

If pressing p does not activate playback but opens Play menu instead, just press alt key one time. It should fix the issue.

To play the visible time range in the main editor press:

• for audio only playback p key,

• for midi only playback shift + p key ,

• for audio & midi playback ctrl + p key.

You can also go to the menu Play -> Visible Range -> Audio Only/Midi Only/Audio & Midi.

To the end playback

Playing from the current moment of time to the end of the song is not so often used therefore there is no shortcut assigned to this operation. You can only invoke it from the menu: Play -> To the End -> Audio Only/Midi Only/Audio & Midi.

Whole song playback

Playing all song is also a rarely invoked action - mostly when you want to check the final result and make sure there are no mistakes. It also can be only invoked from the menu: Play -> Whole Song -> Audio Only/Midi Only/Audio & Midi.

Medley playback

Playing the medley can also just be invoked from the menu: Play -> Medley -> Audio Only/Midi Only/Audio & Midi.

Stopping the playback

The easiest way to stop the playback is just clicking anywhere in the editor.

The playback will generally be stopped whenever you manually move the time marker so all actions that result in the marker being moved, for example selecting or deselecting notes, will stop the current playback.
