Audio Playback and Transport Controls
Audio playback is exposed in the lower toolbar, the output node, and the sequencer transport so you can start from whichever context you are in.
The app keeps playback status visible so it is easy to know whether the patch is currently live. You can start audio from the lower toolbar, by clicking the Output node, by starting to play, or by pressing Play in the transport area.
For immediate monitoring, click Start Audio beside the Keyboard setting or click the speaker control on the Output node. When your browser offers speaker selection, the Output node also lets you choose the headphones, speakers, or interface you want to monitor through. In Chrome, extra outputs may appear only after you enable Chrome outputs and allow any audio input source. Safari currently uses the system output because it does not offer AudioFlow a selectable output list.
For arrangement playback, open the sequencer and press Play; Stop returns playback to the beginning, while Pause keeps the current position.
While the sequencer is playing, you can still adjust nodes, connections, parameters, tracks, and regions for live experimentation. The undo and redo controls stay available for your existing edit history, so you can step back through recent changes without stopping playback.
The sequencer transport adds play, pause, stop, record, click, follow playhead, looping, BPM, time signature, and measure configuration, so it is the best place to control arranged playback.
- • You can start audio before or during editing.
- • The output node is always available as the last stage in the graph and can show available listening devices.
- • The sequencer adds arrangement-aware transport controls without hiding the graph.
