Playback controls, a Keyboard for auditioning Instrument, and Synthesizer status displays.
- Note: If channel 1's Mute button is pressed, it'll prevent The Onscreen Keyboard from playing.
- Notes for Live MIDI input users:
- If a MIDI channel's Mute button is on, then live MIDI notes arriving on that
channel won't be heard. The channel Solo buttons also affect Live MIDI Input.
- When you select a new Instrument in a Session window, the Instrument name will
appear immediately in the Keyboard Instrument display; however, the Instrument
will not be activated until you click a note on the onscreen keyboard. As a result,
any Live MIDI Input notes received on channel 1 during that interval will sound
with the previous channel 1 Instrument.

Volume Control
An overall output volume control for the Beatnik Audio Engine at the heart of the Beatnik Editor.
|
- Note: Don't make any volume balancing decisions in the Beatnik Editor based on audio
playing from another application - even the digital audio tracks of a MIDI sequencer driving
the Beatnik Editor's Live MIDI Input - because different applications may operate at different
loudness levels. For precise mixing, and to make sure your RMF files will repeat your
mix correctly when it's played, place volume controller events (MIDI Continuous Controller
number 7 for each MIDI channel) in the event list for each Track in your MIDI file.

Sets your listening level.
|
- Note: This volume control is dependent on your computer's
hardware and software volume controls. If those
other volume controls are turned all the way off, you
won't hear any of the sound the Beatnik Editor is generating.

Transport Controls (Play, Stop, Loop)
Controls that act like a CD player's Play, Stop, and Loop buttons - except that they apply to the
selected Song, not a CD.
|
- New in version 2.1: The Song Position Dial behavior has been changed. Clicking a position
on the dial now makes the current Song start playing from that position.
Song and Instrument Info
Information about the selected Song and its playback state.
