Virtual Piano
During tap recording, Yass Reloaded can use the top keyboard rows as a virtual piano. The exact layout depends on the active keyboard mapping:
You can review and configure keyboard-related behavior in:
Settings -> Editor -> Keyboard
Notes
- Some shortcuts behave slightly differently depending on focus, selection, and active panel.
- Mouse gestures and wheel actions also play an important role in the editor, especially in the sheet.
- The absolute pitch workflow adds several navigation behaviors that go beyond the older classic help pages.
- This page is based on the current Yass Reloaded keybindings, not just the legacy Yass help text.
