the "Play/Edit Controls" are used to control playback and change parameters of the pattern view.
- ![](control-play.png) **Play**: Plays from cursor position.
- ![](control-stop.png) **Stop**: Stops all playback.
- ![](control-play-pattern.png) **Play from the beginning of this pattern**: Plays from the start of current pattern.
- ![](control-play-repeat.png) **Repeat from the beginning of this pattern**: Repeats current pattern from its start.
- ![](control-step.png) **Step one row**: Plays only the row at cursor position and moves down one.
- ![](control-edit.png) **Edit**: Toggles edit mode. If off, nothing can be edited in the pattern window. (Great for playing around on the keyboard!)
- ![](control-metronome.png) **Metronome**: Toggles the metronome, which only sounds during playback.
- ![](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).
- **Octave**: Sets current input octave.
- **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.
- **Follow orders**: If on, the selected order in the orders window will follow the song during playback.
- **Follow pattern**: If on, the cursor will follow playback and the song will scroll by as it plays.
