QuickCarts

QuickCarts
 
QuickCarts are single click one-shot players. They are typically used to play jingles, promos or beds. Simply drag-and-drop a track from the track list or an audio file from Windows Explorer onto the QuickCart to load it into the player.
 
QuickCarts can be configured as a panel of rows at the bottom of the main window, or as a separate window (like a cart wall) which can be placed on a separate monitor. You can also configure multiple pages.

Row of QuickCarts

2. Row of QuickCarts
QuickCarts can be displayed in multiple rows.
 
When loaded, the player appears in the default colour displaying the artist and the title of the track with the remaining time below.
 
In Playback operation mode, to start the player, simply click anywhere in the box. When playing, the progress is shown as the background and the status 'PLAYING' will be shown. If the cart is configured to Loop, when the position reaches the Loop B point (or the end if Loop B is not set) it will return to the Loop A point and continue playing. The status 'LOOPING' will be shown. If the cart is configured as Solo, then this cart is played, all other playing carts will fade out and stop. It will also fade out and stop if any other carts start playing. Solo carts are designed to be the only cart playing at any particular time.
 
In Playback operation mode, to fade out and stop the player when it is playing, simply click the box again. The player will turn a dark shade of grey and the status 'FADING' will be shown. To force a stop and bypass fading click the box once again. The fade time is configured in Settings. By default the playback sequence is Play -> Fade out -> Stop, this can be changed by editing a cart. Possible options are to immediately stop and not fade (Play -> Stop) or cease looping if the cart is looping (Play -> Cease loop -> Fade -> Stop). When the loop has ceased, the status 'FINISHING' will be shown and the cart will play until the end or until the cart is clicked again when it will fade and stop.
