PIANO ROLL
The piano roll is the home of any MIDI notes you have in your project. This is where you can either play your notes in using musical typing on a computer keyboard or a external MIDI controller. It is also possible to draw in your notes by using the pencil tool, this can be extremely useful for people who are not skilled with playing notes or chords to a complex level. On the piano roll, a notes vertical positional indicates the pitch of it while the horizontal position indicated how long the note is and where it starts playing
