The virtual keyboard allows us to test the current sample, instrument or preset. It can be controlled in three ways:
- with the mouse
The desired key may be clicked by the mouse. The velocity is defined according to the vertical position of the click.
- using the computer keyboard
The keys and the velocity used are defined in the settings.
- using an external keyboard
The MIDI input is defined in the settings.

Markers and colors
- When an instrument or a preset is selected, the area not covered by the divisions are grayed. It is thus possible to visualize the full range of an instrument or a preset.
- When a division of an instrument or a preset is selected, its range is displayed the same way than above. Moreover, its root key is identified by an orange marker.
- When a key is selected on the keyboard, it appears in blue. Moreover, the range of its corresponding range(s) appears in yellow. This applies only at the instrument level.
- Middle C is identified by a black marker.
Usefull shortcuts
- Ctrl + K
This shortcut can put at any time the focus on the virtual keyboard. This allows, while editing in a table for instance, to use the computer to play instead of edit a cell.
- Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2, ... Ctrl + 8
These shortcuts change the octaves played with the computer keyboard. After the use of "Ctrl + 1", the lowest octave can be played. The highest octave is reached using "Ctrl + 8".
