Playing back music
You can listen to the music you have written from the beginning of your project or from a specific point. You can use playback key commands in any mode.
Changing the tempo mode
You can switch the tempo mode at any time between using a single fixed tempo and following tempo changes; for example, if you have a project with multiple tempo changes but want to use a single fixed tempo when recording MIDI.
