Toggled "Cell Playback" how to turn it off? No Manual/help?

[BCnSTL]

This kind of inscrutable, maddening behavior is driving me up-the-wall.

Was recording, hands not on the keyboard or mouse, when playback stopped and I was in "Cell mode" with all tracks muted/inactive.
How to get back? Check the Help system. "Manual not installed". OK, check Studio One Installation. Nope. Nothing to install.
What, the-ever-loving, heck?

What is "cell playback"?
How did it get toggled on?
How do I turn it off?
Why can't I install the manual?
Why does S1 reset my loop region to the last recorded clip begin/end when I stop recording? How do I disable that?

TIA!

Welcome to the Forum!

Please post a single issue per thread!
Subject titles need to be focused on a single issue.

Also, please update your signature (see link and example in mine) with your system specs as it helps (eg: what OS and Studio One versions?) when responding to questions.

Are you referring to playback modes in the Launcher?
Sounds like you clicked on the "Global Play Focus" arrow button.



Post a screenshot of what's installed relative to documentation.
Should look like this...



Loop region issue...

Thank you so much!

RE: Playback modes and the "Launcher" - I think I must've hit the "B" key by mistake.

TY for the "Loop Follows Selection" tip.

RE: The manual - as I stated: S1 thinks it's installed until I try to access it, then it says it isn't. I downloaded the .install file, dropped it on S1 and it said "This is already installed". Very strange.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling...
