You can use an external MIDI keyboard to control NTempo to perform a score . The major advantage to using a hardware
controller instead of keys on a computer keyboard is most models are velocity sensitive: the harder you press keys, the
louder the sound . Thus, you can control tempo and volume at the same time with a MIDI keyboard . You can use the
defaults from the factory (detailed below) or customize one, some, or all the commands to suit your own preference .
Any key on your keyboard that is not already assigned a command will sound a
piano . This is convenient for pitches, tunings, and playing live .
Before you can use a MIDI device, you must inform Notion of the device you will use for MIDI
input signals . You only have to do this once (as long you use the same device) .
MIDI Keyboard Defaults
By pressing certain keys within a two-octave range on the MIDI keyboard (from C3 to C5; middle C is
considered C4) you can access NTempo features to perform a score . Roughly speaking, the lower octave
covers navigation and special features; the upper octave primarily covers NTempo operation itself .
