WHAT IS THE “PIANO ROLL EDITOR”?
The “Piano Roll Editor”, or also called “PRE” as an abbreviation, is a tool for the representation and advanced editing of notes for the DAW Renoise (current version 3.1.1 of 64 bit). It is a piano roll arranged vertically with a top control bar, an intermediate grid for the roll and another bottom panel that represents a horizontal virtual piano, along with another smaller mirror piano on the top of the roll.
The PRE program is distributed in 64-bit XRNX format through a “Demo Version”, free, so that anyone can try it and through another “Full Version”, not free, which requires a personalized use license.
Please, to get the Full Version, contact the author ulneiz to buy your personalized use license.
