Auto Play Mode
Allows you to use Stutter Edit 2 as an audio effect by triggering the currently selected gesture when playback is started in your DAW. Simply insert Stutter Edit 2 on an audio track in your DAW, enable Auto Play Mode, and start the transport to trigger the selected gesture.
Tip: Use Auto mode to edit gestures
The interface can update frequently when working in MIDI mode, making it tough to edit settings for a particular gesture without stopping transport. Try switching to Auto mode to edit your gestures and switch back to MIDI mode to perform them.
