Note entry (piano keyboard)

With the pattern editor focused on a note field, keys map like a tracker piano layout. Octaves are relative to the editor octave setting.

Upper row (+1 octave)

Key	Note
Q 2 W 3 E R 5 T 6 Y 7 U	C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
I 9 O 0 P [	C C# D D# E F (+2 octaves from base for I-[)

Lower row (base octave)

Key	Note
Z S X D C V G B H N J M	C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
, L . ; /	C C# D D# E (+1 octave)

TIP

With the default shortcuts, / is octave down, so it does not enter the piano E from the table above. Remap octave down under Settings → Keyboard if you want / for note entry.

Note off

Press A for OFF (note cut / note off).

MIDI

MIDI keyboards can also enter notes when MIDI input is enabled in settings.
