Piano Roll View
The Piano Roll view displays all MIDI notes and events from one or more
tracks in either the Drum Grid pane or the Notes pane. The Notes pane is a
grid format that looks much like a player piano roll. The Drum Grid pane is
also laid out in a grid, but the sound of these drum notes are determined by
the settings in the Drum Map pane. In both the Drum Grid pane and the
Notes pane, notes are displayed as horizontal bars.
In the Notes pane, pitch runs from bottom to top, with the left vertical margin
indicating the pitches as piano keys or note names. Time is displayed
running left to right with vertical measure and beat boundaries.
In the Drum Grid pane, the drum sounds are mapped according to the
current drum map in the Note Map pane. Like the Notes pane, time is
displayed running left to right with vertical measure and beat boundaries.
The Piano Roll view makes it easy to add, edit, and delete MIDI events from
a track.
The Piano Roll view consists of the Piano Roll View Toolbar, the Notes
Pane, Note Map Pane, Drum Grid Pane, the Controller Pane, and the Track
List pane.
