The Keyboard Optional Display |
Since the Motif is basically a keyboard, and everything revolves around a keyboard, so it's just natural that we put a keyboard display on a Motif documet. It shows you what the contents of the current Waveform are, allows you to select a Sample within the Waveform, and also allows dropping to import Samples into the currently selected Waveform and determine their Key Ranges.
Sample View
The Keyboard display shows in alternating pink and green the Samples that are referenced in the currently selected Waveform (on the Waveforms List). Velocities are also shown, in various tints.
Sample Select
By clicking on the Keyboard display, this selects the Sample according to where you clicked. This also pertains to Velocity -the higher up you click, the higher velocity gets selected.
Sample Import
By dragging and dropping external Samples (WAVE and AIFF) onto the Keyboard display, this allows you to import Samples into the currently selected Waveform. If you drag more then one Sample or a Folder, multiple overlays will appear as you drag onto top of the display, with a maximum of an octave spread. Dragging higher on the Keyboard makes for wider spreads.
Dropping on the Keyboard display imports the Samples into the currently selected Waveform. If there are overlapping Samples, they are deleted or cut-away - this is because Waveforms do not allow overlapping.
