+<p>A typical <dfn>MIDI track header</dfn> looks like this:</p>
+<img src="/images/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.
