User manual

On the top of it you can see 3 icons. It allows you to insert new bar to the left, delete this bar and to add new bar to the right. Just click on
corresponding icon. Hold ctrl to duplicate the original bar.
A small arrow below these icons marks current playback position. Click anywhere in its row to change actual playback position. You can also use
middle mouse button anywhere in the loop editor.
Finally below the playback position rectangle there is the edit field containing the notes. Each note may look different to reflect some of its parameters:
Default
note.
Note
with
lower
velocity.
Note with
lower
probability.
Selected
note.
There are three types of vertical lines:
Thick lines on the edges of bar are bar lines.
Thick lines inside the bar are quarter note lines.
Thin small lines are the quantization lines - if you insert notes, these are the positions you will be inserting them at.
And now you probably want to know how to add notes, modify them etc. There are 3 edit modes you can use. Basically the first one covers
functionality of all of them, but if you are not used to use keys like "ctrl" or "shift" it may be difficult for you. Edit modes will be described later in more
detail. But for now, in the default pencil mode you can simply add notes using left mouse button and delete them using right mouse button.
Note panel
Each note has a set of parameters and parameter field located at the bottom of the editor is designed to quickly modify them. But there is also a note
panel on the right which contains all parameters of notes being created and in selection mode you can also use it to change parameters of selected
notes. The note parameters will be described later in more detail.
On the left side of the parameter field below the editor there is a parameter selector. Click on any parameter you want to modify and the vertical lines
will start displaying the values for all notes in the loop. Then use your left mouse button to change the values for each note. Moreover you can use
right mouse button to set the nearest default value highighlighted by one or more thin gray lines.
Quantization panel
Quantization panel controls current quantization mode. If quantization is enabled, any note you create or move will be quantized to the nearest
suitable position. You can choose from several straight notes, triplets, tuplets etc. Just use the arrows or click on the note symbol. Underneath the
quantization note selection there are buttons to enable quantization and quantize currently selected notes.
