4. Window Reference Guide

-

-

4.1 The Main Window

-Here's a screenshot of the main window, with a standard MIDI file already -loaded: -

- - -

-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. - -

4.2 The Arranger

-

-The left pane of the Arranger describes each track in detail, -while the right pane describes each track graphically. - -

4.2.1 The Left Pane

- -

-The left pane details the following information for each track: -

- -You can select which track is currently "active" by simply clicking -on the track. -

-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. -

-Right click on the C column for a track to declare the track to be of -type MIDI, Drum or Wave. -

-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". -

-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. -

-

4.2.1.1 Track Info

-

-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: -

- -

-The bottom half of the TrackInfo display describes MIDI channel information: - - -

-Operations that can be performed on the left pane: - - -
