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.

Piano roll

The piano roll is experimental. Once it is open, these shortcuts apply on the grid:

Action	Default
Play / pause	Space
Move the selected note	Arrow keys
Move the selected note an octave	Shift + ↑ / ↓
Delete the selection	Delete / Backspace
Copy / cut / paste	Mod+C / Mod+X / Mod+V
Select visible notes	Mod+A

Note keys use the same piano layout as the pattern editor, and land on the current row.
