- ![step](control-step.png) **Step one row**: plays only the row at cursor position and moves down one.
- ![edit](control-edit.png) **Edit**: toggles edit mode. when turned off, you won't be able to enter notes.
- ![lock](control-lock.png) **Lock**: toggles the cursor lock, which keeps the cursor in the currently selected order.
- ![lock](control-lock.png) **Lock**: toggles the order lock, which keeps the cursor in the currently selected order.
- ![metronome](control-metronome.png) **Metronome**: toggles the metronome, which only works during playback.
- ![repeat](control-repeat.png) **Repeat pattern**: toggles pattern repeat. during playback while this is on, the current pattern will play over and over instead of following the order list.
- **Poly**: turns on polyphony for previewing notes. toggles to **Mono** for monophony (one note at a time only).
- polyphony toggle: cycles through the following options.
- **Mono**: monophony. preview one note at a time only.
- **Poly**: polyphony. preview multiple notes at once, using other channels of the same type on the same chip. default.
- **Chord**: chord input. as polyphony, with the added feature that while keys are held, notes past the first are entered on the same row in adjacent channels.
- some keyboards have limits on the number of keys that can be held at the same time. this is not a Furnace issue.
- **Octave**: sets current input octave.
- **Edit Step**: sets edit step. if this is 1, entering a note or effect will move to the next row. if this is a larger number, rows will be skipped. if this is 0, the cursor will stay in place.
- if clicked, Step becomes **Coarse**, which sets the number of rows moved with `PgUp`, `PgDn`, and related movement shortcuts. clicking again will revert it to Step.
