Note Display
The range of notes displayed in the Piano Panel is affected by three settings. The Note Display settings in this dialog affect the
range of piano keys displayed. Furthermore, the MIDI Assembler
configuration has its own Note Range settings, and though the Piano
Panel's keyboard may be set to extend beyond the MIDI Assembler's range,
no MIDI data will ever be sent to those extraneous notes (e.g., they
will never "light up").
Finally, if the Piano Panel is in "Raw Frequency" mode, the
MIDI assembler settings are irrelevant, and notes anywhere in the full
MIDI frequency range may be observed to "light up" if the
corresponding frequencies become active.

|
Lowest Key |
Select the lowest key to be displayed on the piano
keyboard. |
|
Highest Key |
Select the highest key to be displayed on the piano
keyboard. |
|
Hint: |
The Piano Panel can be customized local by right-clicking
on the piano, and selecting "Display Options". |
|
Display Key Names |
When checked, key names will be drawn on each key. |

|
| Initial Display Mode
As illustrated in the figure, the keys of the Piano Panel can respond
directly to raw frequencies generated by the spectrum analyzer, or it
can respond to MIDI data. Since the Note Processor and MIDI
Assembler perform substantial filtering of the frequency data, the Raw
Frequency display mode will generally be more complex, with a large
number of keys "lighting up" to various intensities.

|
 |
|
|
|
MIDI |
Display note events corresponding to fully processed and
filtered MIDI data. |
|
Raw Frequency |
Display note events corresponding to frequencies emitted
from the spectrum analyzer. |
|
Hint: |
The display mode for an open panel is easily toggled by
pressing the mode button 
located in the upper right corner of the Piano Panel. |

|
|
| Colors
|
| White Keys |
Select a color for drawing the "white" keys of
the keyboard. |
| Black Keys |
Select a color for drawing the "black" keys of
the keyboard. |
| "On" Note |
Select a color for drawing a note which is fully
"On". The actual color of the note will be scaled based
on the strength of the frequency signal (in Raw Frequency display mode)
or the MIDI note velocity (in MIDI display mode). |
| Background |
Select a color for the background (i.e., the spaces
between the notes). |
|
Hint: |
Colors can be modified for any open Piano Panel by right
clicking on the keyboard and selection "Display Options...". |
