MT Complete songs will load in Playback just like any other catalog or cloud song, with the exception of multi-genre selections and options. When loading an MT Complete song into Playback, there are options for any or all of the four available genres to be loaded in together, as one song in Playback.
Browsing Songs in Playback:
To get started with MT Complete songs inside of Playback, simply open your setlist/ song map edit mode, and when adding a song, select the new "MT Complete" list, or load them in from your library if previously added.
Next, select any or all of the genres you want to load into Playback. Each genre will require a Playback Rental. When renting three genres for a single MT Complete song, the fourth genre will be available for free. (Unlocking all four genres only requires three Playback Rentals)
Using MT Complete Songs in Playback
Loading an MT Complete song into the Playback app introduces a slightly different experience compared to a traditional multitrack song. An MT complete song can have multiple genres (up to all four) loaded in the single song tile, and therefore, will have a few differences in the Tracks and Buses layers in Playback.
Playback Tracks Layer
When a MT Complete song is loaded into a Playback setlist, you'll see all the stems for all genres you have unlocked with a rental on the "Tracks" layer. Instead of seeing all tracks by default here, the tracks are organized into track folders, labelled by each genre. In this screenshot, we're looking at all an MT complete song with all four genres loaded in, with all of the tracks. The tracks for each genre are currently hidden in the subfolders for each genre.
Clicking to the right of each genre (small arrow to the right of each genre's fader) will expand all of the tracks for that genre. Tapping the arrow again to the right of the fader will collapse the tracks within that genre.
Playback Buses Layer
The buses layer has the expandable buses, and each bus will show every track from every genre loaded in, that's routed to that particular bus. Each track will be notated with a small icon with a letter that corresponds to the genre that track is from. Making it more simple to understand which tracks are from which genre in the buses layer. The following letters will correspond to each genre:
C = Contemporary Genre Track
G = Gospel Genre Track
O = Orchestral Genre Track
A = Acoustic Genre Track
Note: Changing the routing for a particular track in one genre will change the track routing for that same track name across all genres. For example, if the Contemporary genre "Perc" track is re-routed from the "Perc" bus over to the "Aux" bus, the "Perc" from all other genres will follow and be routed to that "aux" bus.

Other MT Complete Features
Unlike typical multitrack songs in Playback, MT Complete songs include a lead vocal; and include one for every genre. The lead vocal can be routed to a different bus, but is routed to the "vocals" bus by default.
Note:
Changing the "Lead Vocal" (LV) routing for one genre will change the lead vocal for all genres. Example: changing the routing of the Gospel "(G)Lead Vocal" from the "Vocals" bus to a custom-named "Lead vocal" bus, will change the routing for all other genre lead vocal tracks.
Some genres may have multiple Lead vocals, denoted as LV1, LV2, and so on. Those additional lead vocals in a specific genre are considered separate tracks and can be routed to separate buses.
The rest of the Playback experience is similar to that of other MultiTracks.com catalog or cloud songs. The timeline is the same for all genres, and editing it for one genre will edit it for all genres. Automations can be used to switch between genres or mix and match tracks from all genres to create seemingly endless possible arrangements.
