116 Recording and Editing Software Instruments

5 Press the Spacebar to start playback and listen to the bass part. Follow along with the

playhead in the editor as it plays the notes in the Fingerstyle Bass region.

The part is very simple to play (by design). Let’s give it a try using your computer keyboard.

Playing Music with Your Computer Keyboard

You can play and record Software Instruments using an external MIDI music keyboard,

the onscreen keyboard, or musical typing. In the exercises for this lesson, you’ll use musi-

cal typing to turn your Mac computer’s keyboard into a fully functional MIDI keyboard.

The Musical Typing keyboard shows which musical keys correspond with the keys on

your computer keyboard. Notice that the Tab key works as a sustain pedal. The Z and X

keys will modulate the octave lower and higher, respectively, while C and V lower and

raise the velocity (the relative volume is based on how hard you strike the key). You can

click the keys on the Musical Typing window with your cursor or play them on your com-

puter keyboard.

1 Choose Window > Show Musical Typing or press Command-K. The Musical Typ-

ing window appears over your workspace. Luckily, it is a floating window so you can

move it anywhere you’d like on your screen.

NOTE

▶

You can click the notes in the Score Editor to see the name (key) of each note

and octave. C2 is Middle C on the keyboard. C3 is one octave higher, C1 is one octave

lower, and so on. The blue area on the mini keyboard at the top of the Musical Typing

window shows which octave is active in the window.
