<HTML> <BODY BACKGROUND="bgnd.jpg" BGCOLOR= "#C0D9D9"> This page shows the notes on an Instrument Track in Piano-Roll format. To add a note, click the left mouse button anywhere on the grid. To add a note and control its duration, press the left mouse where you want the note to start, then drag the mouse while holding the left mouse button, then release the mouse button where you want it to end. To change a note's properties, click the right mouse button on the note. To remove a note, either click the note with the left mouse button, or hold the shift key while clicking the right mouse button on the note. Drag the left edge of a note to change its start time. Drag the right edge of a note to change its duration. Drag the center of a note to change its pitch. To hear a note without inserting it, click on its name. To change which notes and octaves get displayed on the grid, press the Add Sounds button. To insert a rest at the current position, press the button with the rest symbol. To select notes for Cut, Copy, or Paste, <li>press the left mouse button anywhere on the Selection Bar to the right of the track's yellow-highlight name, <li>slide the mouse on the bar to the end of the range of notes you want to select, and <li>release the mouse button. <img src="LoopImg1.jpg"> If you want to repeat a sequence of notes several times, <li>select the notes on the Selection Bar as described above, <li>select Repeat selected notes in a Loop from the Edit menu. You can then cause this set of notes to be played anywhere in the song, by clicking to the right of the loop's name the same way you would play a single note. To change how many times the set of notes gets repeated, right-click the note (labeled Loop's Repeat properties in the diagram above), and select the Properties menu item. To change the sequence of notes in the new loop, you need to first make it active. To make the new loop active, click where it says hint: click here to make this loop active. You can tell that it is the active loop because its name, Loop1, is hilighted in yellow. Now that it is active, you can add notes, or edit it the same way you would edit the track's notes in any of ways described above. To rename the loop, right-click on the yellow-highlighted Loop1, and select Rename Loop. To control which loops are visible on the screen, press the Show Loops button. To add sampled audio sounds to your track, press the Add Sounds button, then press the Audio Samples tab, and then press the Edit Samples button. If you have the optional Multi-View accessory, and if you want to see two tracks at the same time, press the Show Loops button and check the desired tracks.
