Play Menu
Note: Most commands in the Play menu are performed by onscreen buttons, or by the keystrokes listed to the right of the
menu command.
Play
- Generates a new arrangement and plays the song.
Stop Playback
- Stops playback. To resume either use the Play From Current Position command
or the [From] button the play from the start of the current bar, or use the [Play] or
Replay [+] buttons to play from the start of the song.
Hold (pause)
- Pauses the song. Repeating this command resumes play from the exact location
where the song was paused.
Generate (even if tracks
are frozen)
- When you do this, the song will regenerate, the tracks will get rewritten, and the
song will stay frozen. So if you’re freezing songs to get the instant playback with
RealTracks, but get tired of the “same-old” frozen arrangement, just press
Shift+Play, generate a new arrangement, and press Save. Then the new “fresh-
frozen” arrangement will play instantly, even with many RealTracks.
Tip: Obviously you wouldn’t use this feature to force regeneration of a frozen song if you have
made custom edits to the song that you don’t want to lose, unless you’ve saved the song
and have a backup copy.
Replay
- Plays the current arrangement from the start without regenerating the parts. Edits
to accompaniment parts are kept.
Render Song to Audio
- Use to render all tracks to the Audio track and mutes the MIDI tracks.
