Step record keyboard Shortcuts
The default keyboard shortcuts for step recording are on the NumPad, so that you can keep one
hand on your MIDI keyboard to play notes with, and use the other hand on the NumPad to use
shortcuts.
You can use key bindings to configure your own shortcuts. Go to Edit > Preferences > Keyboard
Shortcuts, choose Step Record in the Area field, select a key and a function you want to bind, and
click the Bind button to bind them together. Bind additional keys and commands as needed.
