-title: MIDI Track Controls
----
-
-<p>A typical <dfn>MIDI track header</dfn> looks like this:</p>
-<img src="/diagrams/typical-midi-track-controls.png" alt="midi track controls"
- />
-
-<p>
- To see the full set of MIDI track controls, you need to increase the
- <a href="/working-with-tracks/controlling-track-appearance/track-height/">track height</a>
- beyond the default. MIDI tracks show only a few of the control elements
- when there is insufficient vertical space.
-</p>
-<p>
- A MIDI track has the same basic
- <a href="/working-with-tracks/audio-track-controls/">controls as an audio track</a>,
- with the addition of two extra elements. The set of buttons below the main track
- controls the <dfn>MIDI channel</dfn>(s) that will be visible in the editor. A MIDI track's
- data may span any number of the 16 available MIDI channels, and sometimes it is
- useful to view only a subset of those channels; different instruments may,
- for example, be put on different channels. Clicking on a channel number toggles
- its visibility.
-</p>
-<p>
- To the right of the MIDI track controls is a representation of a piano keyboard
- called the <dfn>scroomer</dfn>. This performs a couple of functions.
- The scrollbar controls the range of pitches that are visible on the
- track, as visualized by the piano keyboard.<br />
- Drag the body of the scrollbar up and down to display higher or lower
- pitches.<br />
- Drag the scrollbar handles to zooms in and out and increase and decrease the
- range of visible pitches.<br />
- clicking on the piano plays the corresponding MIDI note for reference.
