Using these buttons you can start (also bound to Space, see Chapter 22 for further related shortcuts) and stop playback, record new patterns (see Section 4.4 for details), fast forward and rewind transport position, and loop playback.

In addition, you can switch between Song Mode and Pattern Mode .

	Tip
	When using the Keyboard to navigate in the Song Editor and Pattern Editor the shortcut Ctrl + Space (or Alt + Space on MacOS) will change the mode to the one corresponding to the editor. In addition, it will move the current transport position to either the note (Pattern Editor) or the pattern (Song Editor) focused by the cursor and starts the playback.
