Using the Piano Roll

With the piano roll editor you create and edit note events within the Acid Clip Properties window.

A piano roll view of a MIDI file displays note information on a grid, just like a sequencer or a roll from a player piano (hence the name).

Each note event is represented by a block in the top pane. The piano keys along the left side of the window indicate the pitch of each note event, and the beat ruler across the top of the window indicates the position and duration of each note.

The vertical bars below the piano roll represent note-on velocity information for each note.
