Separate colors are used, in order of priority based on the following:

  • The note is the current chord’s (if any) bass note

  • The note is both inside the current chord (if any) and the current scale (if any)

Funciones de MIDI

MIDI functions are logic that can be applied to transform the selected MIDI notes. The following functions are available.

Crescendo

Gradually increase the velocities of the selected notes from low to high. Used to create a climax.

Flam

Create additional MIDI notes right after the start position of each selected note. This is usually used on snares.

Voltear

Reverse/flip the selected notes horizontally or vertically.

Legato

Connect all selected notes so that they play smoothly.

Portato

Similar to legato, but leaves some space between the notes.

Staccato

Make the selected notes short and punctuated.

Strum Up/Down

Shift the position and velocity of notes that start at the same position (chords) to simulate strumming, like when playing guitar.

Por hacer

Add illustrations.

In the future, it will be possible to implement custom functions using user scripts.

Ghost Notes

By default, Zrythm will only display MIDI notes in the selected region. Clicking the mask buton will ghost (display with less opacity) MIDI notes from other regions in the same track.
