Use a Piano Roll to create your songs.
Piano Roll was a system that was integrated in the MIDI sequencers at the beginning of the nineties that allowed the musicians to
compose in a graphic way, using a keyboard as a reference and without needing to use a score, something that managed to set aside the trackers and improve the production environment by means of computer applications.
PianoRollComposer is an application that takes this system to the extreme and allows us to
create compositions with up to 128 instruments and 61 drums tracks, that is more that enough to compose an electronic music theme to a classic music score.
It has a sober interface, that allows us to view the tracks at all times and the instruments that are being used, access the
rhythm programming grate and differentiate by means of colors.
The application allows us to
import MIDI files and export our work, both in MIDI, to be able to use our work with another program, as well as WAV, to be able to listen to them on any audio player.
