To edit the keyboard, select the Gear icon:
You can:
- Select a 'Single' or 'Double' keyboard.
- Enable / disable keyboard labels.
- Enable / disable velocity (vertical touch position).
- Set a root note (this will transpose the keyboard). The default is C5. In addition to using the dropdown menu, you can also Right-click a note to set it as the root note. After changing the root note, both pressed key and note played in the MIDI instrument will be highlighted.
- Lock the scrollbar (found along the top of the keyboard).
Touch Pads
To edit the pads, select the Gear icon:
You can:

- Enable / disable keypad labels.
- Enable / disable velocity (vertical touch position).
- Set a custom MIDI key for each pad (root note).
- Set custom Colors for pads. NOTE: You can color multiple pads simultaneously: Hold (Shift) + Left-click to select multiple pads, then click the Pad Color icon.
