Previewing Clips in the Clips List
You can preview audio and MIDI clips and clip groups in the Clips List.
To preview a clip in the Clips List:
Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) the clip name.
Sample-based clips play back at their native tempo. Tick-based MIDI and Elastic Audio processed clips play back at the project tempo (based on the location of the playback cursor). You can also preview clips from the Clips List during project playback.
MIDI clips play back using the Default Thru Instrument.
