Presentation of the Score Editor of Karaboss (or MIDI sequencer)
Karaboss also has a score editor and allows you to create, edit and print your MIDI files.
Both editing formats are available: you can edit your scores with classic notation, with notes, staves as in the picture above, or with the Piano Roll.
The Piano Roll is another way of representing the notes, in principle simpler than the classical notation, but it would be illusory to think to be able to create partitions knowing absolutely nothing to the music.
The notes are represented by rectangles, placed at different heights (grave at the bottom and acute at the top) and of different length (the longer the rectangle is, the longer the duration of the note is important)
- Vertical: the pitch of the note is indicated next to the piano key
- Horizontal: the duration of the note
How to display the editor
The editor is hidden by default. It can be made visible in many different ways:
- From the explorer by selecting a MIDI file and clicking on the “edit” button.
- From the player window by clicking on the menu View> Midi Sequencer (shortcut key F12)
- By choosing to create a new partition from the explorer: menu “File”> “New”
The editor is displayed. This allows you to enter notes on an existing staff (track), create or delete staves, assign an instrument to each staff.
The piano-roll is available via the menu “Display”> “Piano-roll”.
Print a score
To do this you must export your score in PDF format: click on “File” menu> “Print PDF”
This command will generate a PDF file that you can print.
