Opening the View
There are several ways to open the Piano Roll view:
• In the Track view, select the track you want to see, then choose Views-
Piano Roll or press Alt+5
• In the Track view, right-click on a track and choose Views-Piano Roll
from the popup menu
• Double-click on a MIDI clip in the Clips pane
Each selected track is displayed. You can always switch to a different track
or tracks—simply click the button (or press T) and choose the track you
want.
The Piano Roll view lets you edit notes and controllers during playback or
recording, in real time. This means you can loop over a portion of your
project and hear any change you make on the next loop. The Piano Roll
view also shows notes on-screen as you record them.
Like the Track view, the Piano Roll view includes zoom tools that let you
change the vertical and horizontal scale of the view. The Piano Roll view
also has a Snap to Grid button. For more information on this feature,
see Defining and Using the Snap Grid.
