- A MIDI track has the same basic
- <a href="@@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>

- 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.
