Play/stop: This button corresponds to the normal playback function (Shortcut: space
bar).
Lock: The activated Lock button corresponds to the key button's switch in the object.
The object is then protected against any inadvertent horizontal movement. Additional
locks against vertical moving, volume adjustment, fades, length adjustments, ripples
or deletion can be set in the system settings (Shortcut "Y") under "Program -
>Object lock definitions". Locking can be temporarily cancelled by pressing the "alt"
key.
Solo: This button moves the play cursor, during playback, to the start of the selected
object and plays that only. Track-dependent buses and AUX paths are also observed
at playback.
Mute: This button mutes the selected object. You can also mute the left and right
channels individually too.
Commentary: You can type comments relevant to the selected object in this field.
Step recording via keyboard or controller
keyboard
In the MIDI editor, so-called "Step recording" may also be executed via the computer
keyboard or a MIDI fingerboard. Activate the corresponding button first.
A marker shows the scope of the current octave for the following entries. Now you
can enter MIDI notes step-by-step via your keyboard. Note length and step length
may be specified via the length quantization values. The most important keyboard
shortcut for entering MIDI notes using step recording:
Tab : One step forwards (set pause)
Shift + Tab : One step backwards
Ctrl + arrow up/arrow down : Octave entry up/down
CDEFGAH : Note entry in current octave
Shift : Enter chords
Different notes may be entered without the play cursor jumping if you hold down the
"Shift" key. This enables chords to be played.
Of course, notes may also be entered in "Step recording" mode via the controller's
keyboard.
