Playback

Playback

ScanScore's playback can be controlled with the mixer as well as the playback buttons.

The mixer icon  opens the mixer. Here you can activate, set and deactivate several properties for each track.

Name (1): Enter a name of your choice for each track.

Volume (2): Set the volume for each track individually. 

With Mute (3), one or more tracks can be easily silenced, or a single track can be selected using Solo (4) in order to just play the selected track. This feature automatically silences all other tracks.

Channel (5): Choose another MIDI channel, which controls the respective MIDI playback of the track.

Instrument (6): Here you can find and choose a wide selection of instrument sounds available for playback.

Pan (7) controls the stereo sound output from left to right.

The playback of the tracks can be transposed up or down with Transpose (8). The display shows the change to the current notation in semitones (+24 to -24). It is possible to transpose up to two octaves up and down.

Note: All changes in the mixer become active only when playback is restarted.

The Play icon  starts playback from the point of the selection cursor or the last highlighted part. Playback can be paused at any time using the Stop icon . 

If you want to start playback from the beginning of the score, use the Reset icon . This resets the playback start point to bar 1.
