The timeline has three vertical zoom levels, controlled with ⌥↑ and ⌥↓:

The track expands to show a detailed waveform with transient markers. Transient markers are calculated automatically when a sample is loaded.

Letter keys trigger slices between transient markers. Z and X switch between pages of slices when there are more slices than keys.

Upper row:   Q W E R T Y U I O P
Middle row:  A S D F G H J K L
Lower row:   [Z] [X]  C V B N M
             ↑ page   ↑ first slice

The Inspector provides playback options: choose whether slices play in full or only while the key is held, and apply a decay time across all slices.

An inline piano roll grid appears inside the track lane. Musical Typing is active — play notes from your computer keyboard in real time.

Hold ⌘ and click on an empty area to create notes. The behavior mirrors clip creation on the timeline:

Context	Result
No note selected	Creates a new note at the clicked position
Note selected	Stamps a duplicate of the selected note

Drag after clicking to set the note duration. Right-click a note to delete it. Right-click and drag to erase multiple notes.

A floating bar appears at the top of the focused clip. Its contents depend on the clip type:

Clip Type	Control	Range
Audio	Gain slider	-24 dB to +12 dB
MIDI	Velocity slider	0–127 (applies to selected notes)
