[edit] Keyboard

The keyboard's display can be toggled by the Keyboard button. It acts as a MIDI Controller on your computer. You can press a key and it will play back the selected instrument. Blue keys play sounds. Pink keys are the keyswitches and switch the sound sets (such as Pizzicato, Short Bows, etc.). All other keys do nothing. Since the mouse has no touch sensitivity, you can simulate touch by pressing lower on the key for a harder touch or higher on the key for a softer. To the right of the keyboard, you will see two wheels. One is the mod wheel (CC1). The other is the pitch bend.
