play/edit controls

the "Play/Edit Controls" are used to control playback and change parameters of the pattern view.

Stop: stops all playback.
Play from the beginning of this pattern: plays from the start of current pattern.
Repeat from the beginning of this pattern: repeats current pattern from its start.
Step one row: plays only the row at cursor position and moves down one.
Edit: toggles edit mode. when turned off, you won't be able to enter notes.
Lock: toggles the order lock, which keeps the cursor in the currently selected order.
Metronome: toggles the metronome, which only works during playback.

- 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.

Octave: sets current input octave.
