Glue notes (8)
Glues the note with the next note of the same pitch.
Split notes (9)
A notation bar is split in the matrix at the next grid position by clicking.
Mute (M)
Individual notes or selected note groups can be deactivated or activated by clicking on them. Also
available as a command in the "MIDI
functions" menu.
Hints:
You can freely define the shortcut for switching the mouse mode (tool). "Delete" mode can be
activated anytime by clicking/dragging with the right mouse button. For instance, you can use the
pen to insert new notes when left clicking and remove already inserted notes with a right click
without having to change tools.
Notes created in "Draw" mode contain the MIDI channel and velocity of the edit boxes of the
"New" section above the piano roll.
You can select the previous/next note with the cursor left/cursor right keys. With the cursor
up/down keys you can adjust the note pitch step by step.
Editing notes with the mouse
If you move the mouse over a note, then the mouse cursor will change and, depending on the part of the
note, the following options will be available:
Change note start time (Grab note bar at the beginning, note end remains)
Change note length (Grab note length at end)
Shift + set fixed note length (for multi-selection hold "Shift" and drag current reference note
longer/shorter – all notes will have the same length)
Ctrl + scale note length (for multi-selection hold "Ctrl" and drag current reference note
longer/shorter – changes the note length relatively, i.e. the reference note will become twice as
long and thus all other notes will be double length)
Move note freely (pitch and start time is changed)
Move note horizontally only, retain pitch (in free move mode, hold "Alt")
Move notes vertically, keep position (hold "Shift" in move mode)
MIDI functions
The commands in the MIDI
functions menu always refer to all selected notes. If no notes have been selected, then all functions are
applied to all notes.
Legato:
Notes may be prolonged to be played in legato:
Remove overlaps (polyphonic):
Notes may be shortened so that there are no longer any overlaps. Chords are recognized and not
corrected, i. e. chords are not split up.
Remove overlaps (monophonic):
Notes may be shortened so that there no longer are any overlaps. Forces monophonic voice.
Mute notes (mute):
Mutes and unmutes notes or selected note groups with a click.
Quantize:
Small irregularities when playing to record can be smoothened with the quantization function. In contrast,
the "swing" function makes mechanically sounding sequences "groovier".
Clicking on "Quantize" shifts all selected notes to a customizable quantization grid. All notes are quantized
