Keyboard settings
The keyboard enables software synthesizers (view page 152) to be played and
recorded directly via the on-screen keyboard.
If a track synthesizer is not present, then a new track will be added and a new
synthesizer plug-in will be added when the view is switched to "Keyboard" (Vita
with Sound Acoustic Bar Piano).
The keyboard always controls the synthesizer in the track for which MIDI
recording has been activated.
You can click the keyboard with the mouse to play the instrument. The closer
to the bottom edge you click on the "virtual keys", the louder the sound will
play. Of course, you can't seriously play music by clicking with the mouse (this
function is more suitable for testing out sounds quickly). That's why you can
also play the keyboard with the keys on your computer's own keyboard.
Note: This works only after you first click once on the keyboard using your
mouse. Otherwise, pressing the computer keys will function as key shortcuts
(view page 338) for the different features in Music Maker. If the computer keys
control the program's keyboard, then the piano keys feature the corresponding
characters on your keyboard.
A sound program for the synthesizer may be selected
from this list.
This button opens the editor window for the
synthesizer for fine tuning the sound.
