Sequencer
(Redirected from Piano roll)
The sequencer from the view menu will show current melody in piano-roll view.
An imported midi-file will also be shown first using piano-roll display.
Contrary to music notation, a detailed and timing-accurate display is possible.
It is possible to edit a file in piano-roll display, as well as record a live midi-performance.
If one of the duration-buttons is pressed, mouse-clicking will insert a note with corresponding length.
You can delete a note by clicking on it while the <ctrl> key is pressed.
To change meter, key or tempo, just press the corresponding button at the right upper corner.
