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 notes editor for the DAW Renoise (current version 3.3.2 of 64 bit, and future). Basically it is a piano roll arranged vertically, with a top bar of controls, a grid that represents the roll and surrounded by two virtual pianos, a small upper one and a larger lower one.
In addition, the PRE is much more than a piano roll. Not only is it a great note editor that can replace the Renoise Pattern Editor for multiple editing or post-editing tasks, it also includes other panels intended for editing, such as the Chord Builder or advanced operations modules, among them the FX module, to directly edit the main effects parameters.
PRE has another arsenal of great additional tools, such as the separate Phrase Manager window to manage phrases, the Hex to Dec Converter window to convert values, the Sequence Times window to better control the timing of the music composition sequence, the Time Calculator window to distribute bars, pulses and the relationship with the lines and their duration or the Velocity Histogram window for visual control of the velocity sensitivity when pressing physical keys.
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.

PIANO ROLL EDITOR. UPDATE HISTORY.
Piano Roll Editor v8.5 build 326 (September 2021)
- Improved: Preferences/MIDI In Velocity Sensitivity Control: now the input device drop-down lists will automatically update when connecting or disconnecting devices, as long as the PRE is ON.
- Added: Preferences/MIDI In Velocity Sensitivity Control: now each drop-down list remembers the last input device that was selected, and will recall it when necessary, when reconnecting input devices.
- Added: Preferences/MIDI In Velocity Sensitivity Control: new red/green light for update button. Reacts to automatic shifts when necessary to visually warn.
- Improved: Partial code review.
- Modified: User Guide partially updated.
Piano Roll Editor v8.4 build 325 (June 2021)
- Updated: The general code of the whole tool has been updated to the new API 6.1 (Renoise v3.3.0 & next…).
- Fixed: Playing or stopping the song with the [SPACE] key sometimes did not work correctly, because the playback must be executed with a small delay.
- Improved: The tool protection system has been revised.
- Modified: Advanced Operations/Random Values: the default value (double click) of the sliders has been changed from 0 to 80.
- Modified: The alphanumeric keyboard can now be linked to the top mirror piano. This allows you to trigger chords with the Chord Builder from the keyboard letters [Z-S-X-D-C …].
- Modified: User Guide partially updated.
Piano Roll Editor v8.3 build 321 (November 2020)
- Fixed: with the “NC Mode” in the roll, note-offs could remain visibles even though would belong to notes of non-visible octaves.
- Fixed: Advanced Operations, Auto grown sequence: pattern index invalid when entering a new pattern when some pattern is used repeatedly in the sequence.
- Added: Preferences/Miscellaneous: new option “Auto update LPR”. Update the LPR value (8 to 64 lines) according to the number of lines of the current pattern.
- Improved: Preferences/Sequence: “Follow SEQ” now correctly jumps to first line in all cases (pattern repeat, looping pattern, only one pattern in song …) and returns to the initial jump controlled from the right switch.
- Modified: User Guide partially updated.
Piano Roll Editor v8.2 build 318 (August 2020)
- Modified: the roll grid GUI is now cleaner with larger note slots.
- Fixed: minor improvements to the graphical interface of the roll grid. Some overlapping elements now fit better, even at all scales.
- Improved: the performance of the line marker and the marker of the follow player’s position in pattern have been improved.
- Modified: the [CAPITAL] keyboard command now cleans up all other note-Offs when inserting a note-Off. The keyboard command [A] will only insert note-Off, without influencing the others.
- Modified: Easier when inserting notes and note-Offs separately. Now the easiest way is to insert a note with the mouse and insert a note-Off with the [CAPITAL] keyboard command, combining the mouse with the alphanumeric keyboard.
- Fixed: Some operations were unsuitable when using some controls when the tool status is “OFF” in the first load.
- Fixed: Roll GUI performance seems unstable when the user moves the mouse pointer over when the tool is “OFF” in the first load, due to the massive load of objects that must be hidden from the start…
- Modified: User Guide partially updated.
Piano Roll Editor v8.1 build 312 (February 2020)
- Fixed: loading song: track index and instrument index “error of not existing” when loading a new song and while pressing notes keys quickly through the MIDI input correctly mapped.
- Fixed: ChordBuilder: “Pre-listen” button & root note valuebox: the note was still playing when the notes keys are pressed and released through the MIDI input at the same time as the “Pre-listen” button when the Chord-Mode switch is on.
- Modified: ChordBuilder: the “Inversion” valuebox is now always available, both for predefined and modified chords. The Chord Builder also agrees to change it on the fly.
- Modified: ChordBuilder: the “Root” note valuebox for Pre-listen is now possible to change it on the fly in any case, even using the Pre-listen button.
- Fixed: ChordBuilder: toggle the “Piano-Chord Mode” switch on the fly could return a “non-existent note” error, while “Chord Builder Split Mode” is activated, when playing notes from the MIDI input.
- Fixed: ChordBuilder: toggle the “Chord Builder Split Mode” switch on the fly could provoke that the last notes remained playing.
- Fixed: Sequence Times: the buttons to raise and lower the window frame could disappear when recalculating again.
- Modified: Piano Roll: the LPR valuebox (“Lines Piano Roll”) now allow the value 0 (hide the entire roll): range 8 to 64 and 0. This allows to show compacted only the 2 virtual pianos, upper and lower (useful for trigger chords or notes with the mouse).
- Added: Preferences: show/hide switch for preferences panels.
- Added: Preferences/Micellaneous: show/hide switch for the tooltips of the roll.
- Improved: the initial loading of the tool is now faster.
- Fixed: the valuebox “LPR” can return an incorrect value (not integer) when using the right mouse button to change faster.
- Fixed: the switch of “show the roll” did not update the number of lines correctly, showing an incorrect height when moving the cursor vertically.
- Modified: User Guide partially updated.
Piano Roll Editor v8.0 build 309 (February 2020)

- In Device 3 (Pad)
- In Device 4 (Pad)
- Added: Preferences: new update button for the 4 drop-down list for MIDI In devices.
- Fixed: now when the velocity sensitivity switch is activated, it will work correctly from the first note played (previously it started to work from the second note played).
- Fixed: invalid value “128” in the MIDI assignment for the volume slider with absolute mode. The correct range is 0-127.
- Improved: the change of grated yellow color for piano keys is now much faster to show for transposition scales.
- Added: Preferences: new notation selection for pianos (virtual lower piano and ChordBuilder piano):
- C, D, E, F, G, A, B (anglo-saxon notation).
- DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA, SI (latin notation).

- Fixed: Chord Builder: the pads of the empty bank of chords now work correctly, that is, they do nothing.
- Added: Preferences: new “MTR mode” (MIDI Track Routing mode). Used to route the lower virtual piano to play/record on a different track than the current one (up to +16 tracks). Only valid for MIDI input. This allows many combinations with the superior mirror piano.
- Modified: now, when the Chord Builder Split Mode is enabled, the note slots of the roll will not erase the note from the current note column, if it exists. This facilitates recording on multiple tracks from the reference track. Disable this mode if you want to insert or clear the same note on the roll with one click.
- Modified: Chord Builder: now the “Backup All Banks” operation also saves the configuration of the split notes profiles.
- Added: new Renoise menu link: “Pattern Editor/Column/~Hide Effect Column All Tracks (PRE)”.

- Fixed: inside PRE/Preferences/Keyboard Commands, some descriptions are incorrect: some keyboard commands had cross description.
