PANELS

Recording Panel

The Recording panel sets some recording related options and contains the global snap selector.

  1. Metronome ( Shift+Ctrl+M) - When turned on, you will hear a short "metronome" sound in the beginning of each beat with an accent at the beginning of each bar. It is especially useful when you need to keep yourself "synced" with song tempo when recording a melody from a MIDI keyboard.
  2. Typing Keyboard to MIDI ( Ctrl+T) - When turned on, you can use your typing keyboard to record notes as you would do with a real MIDI keyboard.
  3. Blend Recorded Notes ( Ctrl+B) - When turned on, notes you record will blend with any already existing ones, otherwise recorded notes will overwrite the old ones.
  4. Start on Input - When turned on, pressing the play button will set into waiting mode and actual playing/recording begins at the moment input data is received (for example, when key is pressed on the MIDI keyboard).
  5. Snap Selector - This control sets the global snap value that is used in the Piano Roll and the Event Editor. When you choose Auto, snap will conform to the zoom level you set in the Piano Roll/Event Editor. You can also right-click the selector to select the default note length from the menu that appears (used when drawing notes in the Piano Roll).
