CHAPTER 10. EDITING MIDI NOTES AND VELOCITIES 138
The MIDI Editor has both vertical and horizontal navigation. Along the horizontal axis lies
a time ruler, which shows note position along a musical timeline. The vertical axis contains
the note ruler, displaying octaves C0C10, and a representation of a piano keyboard (the
piano roll). Note that if the Preview switch at the top of the piano roll is activated, you can
listen to the results of your piano roll playing.
