Segments can be renamed and the color can be changed. Imagine how easy is to manage your project. Tracks can be turned on and off with just a click of a mouse and they can be cloned with two. With double-click or single right click you can rename them. In the little drop-down box that shows the amount of zoom, left-clicking increments the zoom and right-clicking zooms out the timeline.
I wonder what you can't do in this window?! When adding sample tracks you should know that this software supports a fair amount of audio formats, but doesn't support the most common ones: mp3 and wma. I really can't figure out why those two are left out. Audio samples are displayed as waveforms in the timeline and the piano segments are displayed as patterns. Neat!!! The rest of the magic happens in the beat+bassline editor and in the piano-roll window.
In this editor you add most of your samples. They can be found in the left pane, in My Samples tab. For each sample are 16 steps set by default. Clicking this buttons you can easily make a pattern with beats. The number of steps can be easily customized. You can add between 1 and more steps you can count. There is an option to freeze a beet pattern or even a piano roll pattern. When those are frozen any modification you make to the pattern only applies after you unfreeze them.
This gives a lot of versatility to the program. In the piano-roll tool you can configure easily how long a note lasts, how intense the sound is and a very advanced pattern for the notes. Even though the sound can't be very real, the ways you can play with this tool are out of this world. The tool has nine octaves and imagine that you can play all the notes in the same time with a different length time for each note and a different intensity. WOW! You will fully understand the power after you use it. For a better idea of what it can do open Bach's Preludium and Fuge that comes with LMMS. For those of you who have a keyboard, Piano-Roll can record notes from a midi device. You can drag and drop the plugins into the Beat+Bassline Editor, Song Editor or into a channel window to start using them.
