Octave Range

You can control how much of the keyboard is visible at once, letting you balance key size against range depending on what you’re working on.

Zoom Presets

Three buttons in the keyboard header control how many octaves are visible:

  • 1 Oct — largest keys, easiest to tap individual notes accurately
  • 2 Oct — default, good balance between key size and visible range
  • 3 Oct — most range visible, smaller keys, useful when identifying wider intervals or chords

Minimum key width is 44pt for comfortable touch targeting.

Octave Scrollbar

The scrollbar at the bottom of the keyboard shows your current position within the full 10-octave range (C0—C8):

  • The orange indicator shows which octaves are currently visible
  • Drag the indicator to scroll to any part of the range instantly

Current Octave Display

The keyboard header shows the note names at the current scroll position so you always know which octave you’re looking at.

Tip: When transcribing guitar, keep the keyboard centered around C3—C5 to stay in the range where most guitar notes fall. For bass, scroll down to C1—C3.
