Keyboard Edit
These buttons are used to
select which state (Remove or
Bypass) will be toggled when
you click on a key.
When Remove is selected, clicking on any key that is not currently set to
Remove will set that key to Remove. Clicking on any key that is currently set
to Remove will set that key to a Scale Note.
When Bypass is selected, clicking on any key that is not currently set to
Bypass will set that key to Bypass. Clicking on any key that is currently set to
Bypass will set that key to a Scale Note.
NOTE: In the descriptions above, “clicking” on a key refers to pressing
the mouse button down and then releasing it. The edit action is
executed when the mouse button is released. Therefore, if the Keyboard
Mode is set to Latch (see below), dragging across the keyboard highlights
each key in turn, but it is only when you release the mouse button that the
resulting key will change state.
Keyboard Mode
When the Latch mode is active
(i.e., the Latch button is blue),
any edits made to the key-
board will latch — i.e., clicking
a key will change its state and the key will retain that state until some other
action causes it to change.
When the Momentary mode is active (i.e., the Momentary button is blue),
keyboard edits are only active for as long as the mouse is held down on a key.
NOTE: Pressing and holding the Shift key on your keyboard will tempo-
rarily toggle the Keyboard Mode.
A TIP: The main purpose of the Momentary mode is to allow you to deal
easily with specific individual events in a performance. However, you
can also use it to “play” the target melody notes in real time. To do this:
• Set the Scale to Chromatic and use the Scale Edit window Remove All
button to remove all notes from the scale
• Set Keyboard Edit to Remove and Keyboard Mode to Momentary
• Now use your mouse to play the target melody on the keyboard.
It’s not nearly as easy as Target Notes via MIDI, but if you don’t have a MIDI
controller handy, it’ll do in a pinch.
