Check the "Stop at current position" option to keep the play cursor at the
current position when stopping playback. If this option is not active, the play
cursor will jump to the original position or back to the start of the range when
playback is stopped.
The "Test space bar (play, stop) in the background as well" option also allows
the space bar to be used for "Play" and "Stop" in Samplitude, even while using
a different software application in the foreground.
The keyboard combination "Ctrl + space bar for playback of selected
objects" can also be used.
The pre-roll time is a necessary parameter for editing in Samplitude. Pre-roll
time is used to define the time section in seconds which is to be played before
the start of the selected range.
The maximum reverberation time for objects without fade-out can be set up
to 60 seconds here.
Note: Please note that long reverberation times can lead to performance
problems.
The option "Pre-run harmony display (beats)" ensures that the chords
detected by the Harmony Agent are displayed in advance in the set number of
quarter note beats.
Autoscroll
Use Autoscroll to activate a feature which is especially useful when working
with long HD Wave Projects: The graphical display always changes when the
playback marker (position line) leaves the visible section. This way you can
always keep an eye on things, whereby it has proven most sensible to display
the current project in two sections (Setup > 2 sections), one displaying the
entire project and one in a useful zoom depth with Autoscrolling.
You can choose between page and soft scrolling. But be careful: Scrolling
requires a certain CPU power (depending on the processor, graphics adaptor
and resolution), so that the computer may be overloaded in critical situations
which may result in playback dropouts. You should then deactivate autoscroll
mode.
