Command

Function

Add

Adds a region to the Playlist.

Delete

Deletes the selected region.

Edit

Modifies a region in the Playlist. The Edit Playlist dialog is displayed.

Replicate

Makes a copy of the selected region.

Stop Point

Designates the current region as a stop point in the Playlist. When the Playlist is invoked, it will continue to play through the regions until it finds a stop point. The Playlist will continue to play only after it is invoked again.

Stop points are useful when triggering play from incoming MIDI or time code and you only want certain sections of the playlist to be played at a time.

Pre-roll Playback

Starts playback at a specified time prior to the selected start point in the Playlist. The amount of pre-roll time can also be set in the Playlist tab of the Preferences dialog or in the Edit Playlist dialog.

Enabling pre-roll allows you to hear the transition between the two regions.

Open

Imports another playlist file into the current sound file. This option offers the flexibility of having multiple playlists for the same sound file.

Opening a new playlist will clear the present one. Make sure you have saved the current playlist before continuing.

Save As

Saves the current playlist to an external file. This allows you to create multiple playlists for a single sound file.

Copy Onto Clipboard

Copies the text of the Playlist onto the clipboard for use with a text editor.

You can use the Copy Onto Clipboard command to make a hard copy of the Playlist.

Convert to New

Creates a new sound file that contains the regions arranged sequentially as specified in the Playlist.

Treat as Cutlist

Displays the Cutlist window. Regions in the Cutlist will be skipped during playback when you use the Cutlist playback button.

Delete Cut Regions

Removes cutlist regions from your file.
