Newbie - How to hear notes and velocity changes in note editor?

Post by MetaPhysical » Thu Jun 23, 2022 12:11 pm

Hi all,
I can play my composition - by pressing spacebar - just fine and can hear the work I have done (MIDI).

However, when selecting a new note, or adjusting the velocity of a note, in the editor why can't I hear the note and the velocity change? I have t play the whole track to hear the changes I have done. I am sure I am missing something.

Thanks :) MP
