Piano Keyboard in the Editor? Setting BPM in project?

[quintessential]

Hi Helio Community,

Question #1 please:
I noticed a screenshot online of the Helio Editor and noticed there was an actual piano keyboard on both the left and right sides of the editor. I have no idea what version of Helio the screenshot was taken from. In regards to the version I recently installed (portable ver. 3.10 x64), I do see the octave designations and note name when I enter a note but curious if there is a setting that switches to a full piano keyboard. I understand Peter designed the program to have a clean UI and this I understand as I can easily work with how he designed the piano roll. However I’m curious if there was a setting that could show the full keyboard (as displayed in most DAW's)?

Question #2 please:
How do I to set the metronome bpm?

Thank you very much

There's no full piano keyboard component (perhaps that was a screenshot of some fork?), I've never implemented one, the big part of the reason is that rows highlighting can provide pretty much the same visual cue and indicate where the black and white keys are.

How do I to set the metronome bpm?

The metronome simply follows global tempo, which is controlled by the tempo track in the pattern roll, it should be available in every new project by default.

Thank you Peter. After reading your solution I now noticed the rows (that stretch along the entire editor) do provide the same visual cue as identifying where the black and white keys are located in addition to the note names as well. One big full piano keyboard for sure. Originally missed that. Thank you again.

I now see how to set the tempo and learning the node procedure as well. Interesting approach. Thank you for the the links that sent me to the 'Getting Started Guide' for further explanations.
