How to see played MIDI notes in piano roll on Qtractor and Ardour?

Post by digitsun »

Hi.

I've tried made some of music in Ardour y Qtractor with MIDI. But I noted when I play notes from my midi keyboard these notes don't highlight the keys of piano roll. Similar situation with recorded midi notes (they sound but don't highlight the piano roll). How to active this visual guidance in Qtractor and Ardour?

none in qtractor; only the hovering note is highlighted (in blue); a pressed (clicked) note is also highlighted (in red).

some instrument plugins might show playing notes, but not qtractor's piano-roll. sorry.

I looked Mamba but this plugin is so nice and straightforward. Thanks for the tip.
