Auditioning in the Soundcaster

After you have selected what sounds or motion objects you want to play, it is really up to you how you want to audition the modules in the Soundcaster. Using the asynchronous playback functionality, you can audition modules in whatever order you choose, consecutively, overlapping, and so on. Changing the order for playback is a good way to test and experiment as well as help you find the best sequence. You decide how you want to play back the modules based on what you want to do in the simulation. The basic tasks in playback are:

Play the module.
Pause the module playback.
Stop playing the module.

Playing back Soundcaster modules

If you want to audition a module, you can use the controls directly in the modules that you want to play. After you have started playing all the modules that you want, in the order that you want, you can pause or stop any modules that you choose. It is not possible, however, to play back an Actor-Mixer or a bus.

You have the option of stopping or pausing all modules using the master controls.

To play back individual Soundcaster modules:

In the module, click Play.
The associated sound will play until finished.

If you want to pause the playback, click Pause.

The Pause icon turns yellow in the module and in the master control area. To resume play, click Pause again.

	Note
	To resume playing a Sequence Container from the beginning of the playlist, click the Reset icon and select Reset All Random and Sequence Containers in the master control area.

To stop playback, click Stop.
Note
To Pause or Stop all the modules in the Soundcaster, you can use the Pause and Stop icons in the master control area.
