Working with the matrix editor
The matrix editor is particularly useful for conveniently arranging MIDI notes
(piano roll).
In the matrix editor, you can edit MIDI notes for controlling sound generators
like synthesizers, drum machines, and virtual instruments (VST instruments). If
a MIDI instrument is activated, you can play it via the keyboard at the left of the
screen. Clicking on a key makes the synthesizer create the corresponding
sound.
Now select the pencil tool and paint the notes into the score sheet.
MIDI notes can also be sustained by holding the left mouse button
or double-clicking.
The "Eraser" tool deletes notes from the note field.
The "Step recording" button enables step-by-step audio recording.
Tip: The tool for drawing the pattern is particularly interesting. Use the
selection tool to select specific notes and press the key combination "Ctrl + P".
