Window Reference Guide</h2> +<p> +<h2>4.1 The Main Window</h2> +Here's a screenshot of the main window, with a standard MIDI file already +loaded: +<p> +<img src="main_window.jpg"</img> + +<p> +The main window is basically divided up into two panes separated by a +veritcal bar that is movable horizontally. These two panes together +are called the Arranger. + +<h2>4.2 The Arranger</h2> +<p> +The left pane of the Arranger describes each track in detail, +while the right pane describes each track graphically. + +<h3>4.2.1 The Left Pane</h3> +<img src="left_pane.jpg"</img> +<p> +The left pane details the following information for each track: +<ul> + <li>A -?? + <li>M - Mute the track + <li>C - Defines whether the track is one of MIDI, Drum or Wave. + <li>Track - A freely-editable track name. + <li>Ch - Defines which MIDI Channel this track plays on. + <li>Port - Defines which MIDI port this track plays on. + <li>T -?? +</ul> + +You can select which track is currently "active" by simply clicking +on the track. +<p> +When a track's M column is clicked, that track is marked as Muted with +a red circle and upon playback that track will not be heard. To hear +the track, click on the M column for that track again. +<p> +Right click on the C column for a track to declare the track to be of +type MIDI, Drum or Wave. +<p> +The Track column is free-form, meaning that a double-click on a track's +Track column will allow you to enter a descriptive name for the track, +for example "Hot Lead Guitar". +<p> +The Ch column for a track is changed by right-clicking to increment the +number or middle-clicking to decrement the number. It's generally a +good idea to keep differing instruments on different MIDI channels and it's +considered common to have the drum kit on channel 10. +<p> +<h4>4.2.1.1 Track Info</h4> +<p> +At the bottom of the left pane, you'll see a little button labelled +"TrackInfo". When clicked, the standard information plus more about +the currently selected track is presented: +<p> +<img src="track_info.jpg"</img> +<ul> + <li>Track Name + <li>Channel + <li>Transpose + <li>Delay + <li>Length + <li>Velocity + <li>Compr +</ul> +The bottom half of the TrackInfo display describes MIDI channel information: +<ul> + <li>MIDI Instrument + <li>H-Bank + <li>L-Bank + <li>Progr + <li>Volume + <li>Pan +</ul> + +<p> +Operations that can be performed on the left pane: +<table border=1> +<th> <strong>Track Functions </strong></th> <th> </th> +<tr><td>Select Track<td> + <ul> + <li>Left Mouse Button + </ul> +<tr><td>Select multiple Tracks<td> + <ul> + <li>Shift + Left Mouse Button + </ul> +<tr><td>Change Selected Track<td> + <ul> + <li>Key Up: previous Track + <li>Key Down: next Track + <li>click with left mouse button in name field + </ul> +<tr><td>Move Track<td> + <ul> + <li>Drag with left Mouse Button + </ul> +<tr><td>Create New Track<td> + <ul> + <li>Pulldown Edit<br> + <li>Ctrl T + <li>double click in empty track + </ul> +<tr><td>Delete selected Track(s)<td> + <ul> + <li>Pulldown Edit + <li>Del + </ul> +<tr><td>Rename Track<td> + <ul> + <li>doubleClick with left mouse button + on track name + </ul> +<tr><td>Change Midi Channel<td> + <ul> + <li> left mouse button increments midi channel + <li> middle mouse button decrements midi channel + </ul> +<tr><td>Select Midi Port<td> + <ul> + <li> click with right mouse button on portname; + select from pulldown menu + </ul> +<tr><td>Mute Track<td> + <ul> + <li> click with left mouse button on "M" field in + Tracklist + </ul> +<tr><td>Solo Track<td> + <ul> + <li> click "Solo" button + </ul> +</table> + + +<h2>4.2.2 The Right Pane</h2> +<img src="right_pane.jpg"</img> +<p> +The right pane desribes each track graphically. Time moves from left +to right and is measured in beats that are referenced at the top of +the right pane. Tracks are displayed vertically in boxes, called +"Parts", that depict where MIDI and audio data are played. +<p> +The small sliders that are adjacent to the bottom right corner affect +the view of the right pane in terms of "zooming".
