The Control Palette is one of the most important windows in FreeStyle. It provides buttons that look just like the controls on a CD Player or tape deck: play, stop, pause, rewind, and record. Use these buttons to get around in your music. They operate just like a standard tape deck, except that things happen instantly because you don’t have to wait for tape to rewind.
The Control Palette also provides a tempo slider, which lets you change the tempo of your music at any time. Unlike a tape deck or CD player, however, changing the tempo of your music won’t affect its pitch.
Finally, the Control Palette provides a counter that shows the current playback location in the music. The location is displayed in measures, beats, and ticks (there are 960 ticks per quarter note) or in minutes, seconds, and tenths of a second.
