Sound sets in Farrago can be used in two distinct ways: Grid mode or List mode. A set’s mode can be changed from the Sound Set menu, as well as with the Grid/List mode toggle in the bottom toolbar.

This page provides a brief overview look of List mode.

List mode is geared toward sequential playback, and offers a great way to run a more linear performance. This can be useful while recording a podcast with a predefined sequence of audio files (such as a theme song, a pre-recorded introduction, and an outro). It’s also great for theater use and other scripted performances.

Tiles in List Mode

A set in List mode displays up to 80 tiles, in a vertical list.

To the left of each tile, you’ll see the Playback Indicator. When a tile has yet to be played, this indicator will show a filled-in dot. As a tile is playing, the indicator will show a spinner. When the tile has finished playing, it will show a hollow dot.

The tile itself displays the title, optional emoji, and a waveform visualization of the sound it will play, as well as length and playback information.

To the right of each tile, Notes are shown. Notes can be edited inline, as well as in the Inspector.

List Mode Controls

The bottom of any set in List mode contains several controls.

Playback Mode

A set in List mode uses one of two different playback modes, Continuous or Queued. In Continuous mode, as one tile finishes playing, the next tile will automatically begin playing. In Queued mode, when one tile finishes, the next tile will not play automatically. Instead, it will be automatically highlighted, ready to begin playback with a press of the Return key.

Cross-Fade

When the Playback Mode is set to Continuous, the Cross-Fade slider controls how much cross-fade will occur between tiles. Note that for tiles with very short sounds, the maximum fade will be one-half the audio’s length, even if this slider is set to a higher duration.

Reset List

In its default state, a set in List mode will have all tiles set to unplayed, and the first list item will be selected. After a tile is played, it will switch to a played state, useful for visually tracking where playback is in a sequence. Played tiles will also be skipped over when playing through the list.

The Reset List button will return a set to its default state, great for when you’ve played through a list, or if you wish to start over. Once reset, all tiles in a list return to an unplayed state and the selection moves back to the first list item.
