Groups and the Inline Piano View

Groups let you collect nodes together and target them from the lower piano mode for focused play.

Detailed explanation
Groups let you collect nodes together and target them from the lower piano mode for focused play.

In piano mode, the lower left sidebar lists groups. Selecting a group also selects the nodes linked to that group, which makes it faster to play multi-node setups without manually reselecting nodes in the graph.

To create a group, select one or more nodes in the graph, switch the lower workspace to piano mode, then click Add as group. You can also select a node and use its plus group action to create a group or add it to an existing one.

To play a group, click it in the group list, start audio if needed, then use the inline piano or computer keyboard. To remove a group, use the group delete control in the same lower sidebar.

Groups are especially useful for performance workflows where one patch should respond together, such as a layered synth made from multiple generators and effects.

What to know
  • Create groups from the lower workspace or from node-level quick actions.
  • Group selection helps target specific instruments quickly.
  • The inline piano provides immediate testing without opening the sequencer.
