THE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD

The Virtual Keyboard, located at the bottom of the GVI interface serves

many functions. You can ‘play’ the keyboard with a mouse to audition

sounds rapidly, allowing you to test and edit sounds even if a hardware

keyboard isn’t connected. The Virtual Keyboard is also used to illustrate the

playable range of each instrument and any keyswitched articulations that

may be present in the instrument. With MIDI Select enabled in the QuickEdit

view, the Virtual Keyboard also enables you to select individual notes to be

edited.

COLOR CODED

Multiple colors are used to indicate the function of each active

Virtual Keyboard region. Following is a list of the colors used and their

corresponding function:

· Black/White – Indicates the playable range of an instrument
