Music Editor

The Music Editor allows you to create patterns of music using the sounds from the Sound Editor. Each pattern has four channels that can each contain a sound from the Sound Editor.

Playback of patterns is controlled by the three buttons in the top-right (two arrows and a square). If the right-facing arrow is on, that marks a start point. If the left-facing arrow is on, that marks a loop point. If the square button is on, that marks a stop point.

Playback flows from the end of one pattern to the beginning of the next. However, if playback reaches the end of a pattern and finds a loop point, it will search backward until it finds a start point and play from there. If playback reaches the end of a pattern and finds a stop point, playback will stop.

Shortcuts

• Space - Play/stop
• - / + - Go to previous/next pattern

Note: You can edit sounds in the Music Editor, so most Sound Editor shortcuts also work here!
