Play

Play Enable
  1. To turn on the playback feature of the Catalog, select the "Enable" command in the Play menu. This will turn on the Play Enable, and will put a check mark next to Enable on the menu. Selecting the Enable tells the Catalog to take ownership of the driver for the audio card. While Catalog Play is Enabled, no other program will be able to use the audio card.
  2. The next time you select Enable, the Play Enable will be turned off. The check mark will be removed from Enable in the menu, and the driver for the audio card will be available for other programs to use.
Playing Catalog Items
  1. Catalog Items can be played by pointing to them with the mouse and clicking the right mouse button. The Catalog Item will be highlighted, and the playback will start immediately. If another Catalog Item was playing and the Queue was not enabled (see section See Playback Queue.), the currently playing Catalog Item will be stopped, and the newly selected Catalog Item will start playing.
  2. If a Catalog Item is playing, the playback can be stopped by hitting the Shift+s key. Playback can be paused by hitting the Space bar. Hitting the Space Bar again will resume the playback where it left off.
  3. A highlighted Catalog Item can be played from the keyboard by hitting the Enter key. Different Catalog Items can be highlighted by using the arrow keys or the left mouse button.
Playback Queue
  1. When you select the Queue command in the Play menu, the Queue is enabled, and a check mark is placed next to Queue on the menu.
  2. If a new Catalog Item is selected for play when another is currently playing, the currently playing item will complete playback before the new Catalog Item begins playing. Also, if multiple Catalog Items are selected for play, the Catalog Editor will remember all of the selections, and play them in order.
  3. The next time you select Queue on the Play menu, the Queue feature will be disabled, and the checkmark will be removed.
MIDI Stop
  1. When you select Ignore MIDI Stop in the Play menu, a check mark will be placed next to it, and any Catalog Item that is triggered by a MIDI note will play until it is finished, unless interrupted by another Catalog Item, or by a computer keyboard Pause or Stop.
  2. When Ignore MIDI Stop is disabled, a MIDI "note-off" command will stop the playback of a Catalog Item that was triggered by a MIDI "note-on" command.
