Opções de Snapping e Grade#
This menu button allows adjusting snapping and grid display options.
Each option is explained below.
- Position Snap
Turn snapping on or off.

- Triplet
Snap to 2/3rds of the selected note length.
- Dotted
Snap to 3/2nds (1.5 times) the selected note length.
- Manter distância
When snapping, keep the offset of objects from the nearest snap point on their left.
- Default Object Length
The length to use when creating new objects. The following options are available.
- Link to Snap
Use the same note length as the snap length above.
- Last Object
Use the length of the last created object.
- Custom
Specify a custom length.
Quantização#
Os objetos podem ser quantificados a posições específicas através das ações Quantificar e Quantificar-Rápido.
Quantificar#
Clicar no botão Quantificar abrirá um pop-up que permitirá que especifique as configurações para quantificar a seleção atual.
- Quantificar para
Selecione o comprimento e o tipo da nota a ser quantificada.
- Ajustar
Selecione se deseja quantificar as posições iniciais, as posições finais (em objetos com comprimento), ou ambas.
- Quantidade
Selecione o valor por qual quantificar. 100% irá quantificar as opções dadas completamente, enquanto 0% não irá realizar nenhuma quantificação.
- Balanço
Select a swing amount.
- Randomização
This will randomize the resulting positions by the given amount of ticks, and is useful for adding a “human feel” to quantized events.
Clicar em Quantificar realizará a quantificação e salvará as configurações para a quantificação rápida com Quantificar-Rápido.
Quantificar-Rápido#
Isto irá realizar a quantificação à base das últimas configurações conhecidas.
Playhead Tracking#
Zrythm includes functionality for forcing the playhead to remain inside the visibile area during playback.
- Scroll when Playhead Reaches Edge
Automatically scroll the visible area when the playhead moves outside it
- Follow Playhead
Keep the visible area centered at the position of the playhead
Zooming#
The timeline and each editor include horizontal (and sometimes vertical) zooming functionality.
- Ampliar
Zoom in at the location of the playhead
- Reduzir
Zoom out
- Tamanho Original
Zoom back to the default zoom level
- Melhor ajuste
Zoom in or out as much as required to show all of the events in the arranger
Event Viewers#
Clicking the Toggle Event Viewer button will display an event viewer (or list editor) that shows all events in the corresponding editor as a list.
Sorting#
Columns in the header row can be clicked to sort the events in ascending or descending order.
Edição#
Some values can be changed by clicking in the corresponding field to enter edit mode, then pressing Enter when done.
Object Selection#
The object selection in the event viewer is linked to the arranger. This means that selecting objects inside the event viewer will also select them inside the arranger and vice-versa.
Timeline Controls#
The following controls are only available in the timeline toolbar.
Range Operations#
Range actions are performed on the selected range.
- Insert Silence
Insert empty space at the selected range and push all events in the range forward.
- Remove Range
Remove all objects inside the selected range and move events after the range backwards.
Object Merging#
Clicking this button will merge the selected regions. This button is deactivated when merging the currently selected regions is not possible.
The shortcut for object merging is Control-j.
Piano Roll Controls#
The following controls are only available in the piano roll (MIDI editor).
Chord/Scale Highlighting#
The highlighting option can be used to highlight notes corresponding to the scale, chord, or both at ther start position.
The position of the playhead will determine highlighting of the piano roll keys on the left side of the piano roll.
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)
The note is inside the current chord (if any)
The note is inside the current scale (if any)
The note is neither in the current chord or scale, or there is no current chord or scale

MIDI Functions#
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.
- Flip
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 fazer
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.
Clicking on a ghosted note will automatically switch the active/selected region to the clicked MIDI note’s parent region.
Automation Editor Controls#
Automation Functions#
Automation functions are logic that can be applied to transform the selected automation points/curves. The following functions are available.
- Flip
Reverse/flip the selected automation horizontally or vertically.
Audio Editor Controls#
Audio Functions#
Audio functions are logic that can be applied to transform the selected audio part. The following functions are available.
- Inverter
Invert the polarity of the audio.
- Normalize Peak
Normalize the audio so that its peak is 0dB.
- Linear Fade In
Fade the audio from silence to full amplitude.
- Linear Fade Out
Fade the audio from full amplitude to silence.
- Nudge
Shift the audio by 1 sample backward or forward.
- Reverter
Reverse the audio (play back backwards).
- External Program
Run an external program (such as Audacity) to edit the audio.
The selected program will be run with the path to a temporary file as an argument. Normally, the application will open that file, otherwise you will have to open it manually.
Dica
You can select and copy the path in the dialog.
Once you’ve made your changes to the file, close the external app and press OK. Zrythm will then apply your changes to the selected audio part.
Importante
The length of the audio must stay exactly the same, otherwise this operation will fail.
