Start and stop playing your musical creation (the app will repeat the musical creation as a loop until you press the center button a second time to pause it) 3. Deletes the sounds in reverse order (similar to Command Z on a computer). 1 Palmquist. MUSC 1300 NET A and B. Spring, 2021 Brooklyn Jane Palmquist, February 2021 5b. Kandinsky.
