The Note Repeat function makes it easy for you.

Access the score log, undo/redo, quantisation, metronome and essential transport controls directly. Browse the presets of your Image Line plug-ins to change instruments and sounds quickly and without a mouse.
Scale mode ensures that you always hit the right note, keeping the music flowing. Three chord modes allow you to play a series of chords with just one finger, creating great harmonies and new sounds in no time at all.
