Audio Player
Playback Controls
Basic Controls: Play, pause, previous, next, and volume slider.
Loop Modes:
- Track Loop: Repeat the current track
- Queue Loop: Repeat the entire queue
- None: Play through queue once
Shuffle: Randomize the playback order of your queue.
Queue Behavior
Starting playback from the project table snapshots its current order and queues only projects with a playable bounce. Projects that only have a MAKID Session Preview are not added to bounce traversal.
Each project entry resolves its most recently modified supported bounce when it starts playing. A newer bounce exported after the queue was created is therefore picked up automatically. Selecting a specific bounce instead pins that queue entry to the selected file.
MAKID Session Previews play only when explicitly selected. Playing a bounce-less project creates a focused preview queue rather than adding the preview to next, previous, shuffle, or queue-loop traversal.
Supported Audio Formats
MAKID detects and plays only the following audio file types:
.mp3,.mpeg,.opus,.ogg,.oga,.wav.aac,.caf,.m4a,.m4b,.mp4.weba,.webm,.dolby,.flac
Only these formats are indexed by MAKID and available for playback.
Choosing a Project’s Audio File
When you play a project from the table, MAKID uses the most recently modified supported audio file as its primary bounce. To play a different file, open Project Details and select it from the Bounce Table.
If you directly play a project with no playable bounce, MAKID uses a MAKID Session Preview of the primary Ableton session when one is available.
Advanced Audio Features
Waveform Visualization: See the audio waveform with clickable timeline.
MAKID Session Preview Activity Overview: Approximate Ableton session playback shows clip activity instead of a generated waveform. Passed activity and the playhead show progress, and the overview is clickable for seeking.
Live Visualizer: Expand the waveform button in the desktop player to choose classic Bars, Mirror, and Wave modes or generative Wormhole and Topography modes. Tune response, motion, detail, and flow; colors follow your active MAKID theme. Wormhole and Topography combine project tempo with playback loudness.
Locators: If your Ableton project has locators, they appear as clickable markers on the waveform.
Outdated Bounce Detection: Audio files older than the project modification date show a warning indicator.
Media Session Integration: Use your keyboard’s media keys or OS media controls to control playback.
