Piano roll.
The piano roll shows the layout of the patterns in a song.
It starts out empty, then one can paint layouts of
each track.
The layouts can snap to a given resolution, and
can be split, moved, or deleted.
They show the pattern color.
The File / Export / Export song action can
be used to save the song in a format that
other sequencers can read.
-
Triggers.
Triggers control playback: when
and how long a pattern plays, and how the
pattern is transposed.
Triggers allow patterns to be reused in very
powerful ways. See
Kraftwerk-Europe_Endless-reconstructed.midi
in the midi
installation directory. Triggers
compress the original MIDI file by a factor
of ten.

-
Colors.
Note that the colors of each layout
match the color of the pattern, if
a color was assigned.
