Pattern View

The pattern view shows the notes and channels being played at any given time. Each color represents one track, and the relative heights of the pixels are the relative pitches of the notes.

Digital View

The digital view shows the current values of all of the module parameters, including the note, volume, effects, arguments, loop status, sample size, number of bytes remaining to play on the sample, and more. This is a good view for someone who is familiar with the technical workings of a module to view the current activity of the song.

Track View and Instrument View

The track viewer shows the status of the various tracks that are currently playing. The bar represents the status of a track, and the bar represents the level of decay that the track has undergone (when you first hit a note, it is loud, but then it decays until you can no longer hear it).

The instrument viewer is similar to the track viewer, except that it shows the status of each instrument used in the song.

Oscilloscope View

The oscilloscope view shows the left and right channels' waveforms in real time. This is the sound signal going to the speaker, not the waveform for each instrument (which can be seen in the wave editor).

Spectrum View

The spectrum view is used to show the various frequencies' outputs in real time. This helps to show the bass output versus treble versus drums, and it can be an interesting way to watch a song.

Tools View

The tools view has the standard musical tools: play, fast forward, rewind, record, skip, and stop. This is your main way of playing music.

Music List View

The music list view shows the different songs that have been played recently (or that you have selected to play) as a playlist. This way, you can have the computer select different songs to play at random or in order, and you can have PlayerPRO play a number of songs in the background.

This view is very useful in PlayerPRO's function as a music player.

Adaptors View

The adaptors view allows you to change the way that PlayerPRO plays your song, as it plays. You can adjust the speed, instrument volume, left/right stereo volume, and pitch of the song as it plays easily.

Memory View

The memory view shows the available memory left to PlayerPRO as well as the memory used by the program.

Piano View

The piano view shows you both how to use the keyboard to make music and what notes are currently being played by each instrument during a currently playing song. The MIDI keys being hit will also show up on the piano in real time.
