PANELS

Transport Panel

The Transport panel contains controls for playing, recording, setting song's position and tempo.

  1. Pattern/Song Mode ( L) - Switches between pattern and song mode. In pattern mode, only the current pattern is played, while in song mode the whole sequence in the Playlist is played. If the Playlist is empty, in song mode FruityLoops will play the patterns in successive order. Right-clicking this control shows/hides the Playlist window.
  2. Play/Pause ( Space) - In record mode, plays/pauses the song and records MIDI input & wheels/sliders tweaks, otherwise just plays/pauses the song.
  3. Stop ( Space) - Stops recording/playing.
  4. Record ( R) - Switches between record and play mode.
  5. Tempo - Shows/sets song tempo. Right-click the LCD screen for some tempo presets. Note: Twice Slower option does not set the actual tempo of song twice slower (so the value displayed in the LCD won't change). It just plays the song twice slower to make it easier for user to record notes/events. After recording, this option may be turned off to return to the original tempo.
  6. Song Position Slider - Shows/sets the current song position.
