Projects are the highest order structural
element in Play+. A project contains all the
elements of a full track. Think of each project
as the container for a fully arranged song
maybe for an album or a song for performing in
a live set. Play+ auto saves projects, which are
stored on the installed Micro SD Card,
although a manual save option is also
provided. A project should be opened for
playback and editing and can be created from
scratch for new projects. Each project contains
a maximum of 128 patterns across 8 audio
tracks and 8 MIDI / Synth tracks. Patterns can
be created as sample based compositions and
also as MIDI / Synth based sounds. Sample
tracks are indicated by green function pads,
which is the default state and illuminated
purple for MIDI / Synth tracks. Projects are
structural and organisational functions more so
than part of the creative environment but
nevertheless serve an important purpose in
the Play+ workow. Samples are stored on the
Micro SD Card but can be also are held in the
Play+ on board sample pool where samples
effectively are the sound source of step
sequences and patterns. Projects use the on
board sample pool which is populated with
samples or sample packs from the SD Card.
Having the project sample list populated is a
prerequisite to creating pattern sequences and
is core part of the project workow. Synth
patches are also stored on the SD card. This
section covers the general project management
in Play+ and also the les from it’s SD card.
Some important and specic project level
functions such as tempo and levels are also
covered. The 8 sample tracks also have some
specic functionality to consider which is
covered here while MIDI and Synths are
covered in detail later in this manual.
