The Macro Groove display
The Macro Groove Display shows a timeline of the currently selected
Part or Fill. Parts can be up to four bars in length. Just like the Piano
Roll editor in your host application, the red rectangles show the pitch,
position and length of each note in the Part or Fill.
Attention! The vertical pitch information does not necessarily represent
the true pitch of the note, it’s presented this way for easier navigation.
Key Follow
When the Key Follow button is active any Part or Fill played via MIDI
will automatically be selected in the Parts Browser and its rhythmic
structure will be shown in the Macro Groove Display.
Changing the timing of individual notes
The timing of all individual notes in a Part or Fill can be moved back-
wards or forwards (by up to an 8th note) by dragging them left or right.
When you move a note and it overlaps with another, Virtual Bassist au-
tomatically removes or shortens the previous note to maintain a realistic
monophonic bassline.
Muting notes
To mute a note simply right-click it and it becomes grey.
In Virtual Bassist 1.0 the pitch of a note cannot be edited.
