Play the note B when the Musical Typing keyboard is open. “J” for a “B” makes no sense until you look at the Musical Typing window.

Step input allows you to insert MIDI notes when you’re not recording in real time. You can use step input to create note runs that may be too fast for you to play or to replicate sheet music that’s too difficult for you to play.

  Velocity 80 (mf)   M

Set the velocity of notes entered to 80. When entering notes via Step Input the velocity value is determined by the most recent select of a velocity. Quite useful.

To set the velocity of the inserted note: Click the Velocity buttons.
There are eight velocity values—represented by the traditional volume indicators ppp, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff, and fff. These correspond to MIDI velocity values 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, and 127, respectively.
