Video Expander USB Keyboard functionality:
A connected Computer Keyboard (PC Keyboard) allows easier editing as many functions of the
NerdSEQ can be accessed from the Keyboard directly. It can be also used to insert or play notes
directly since 2 note-octaves are directly mapped onto the keyboard. Notes can be played from the
sequencer screen and the current track is being played from the keyboard (or multiple if tracks are
set to poly-midi mode). Within the tracks notes can be played or edited using the keyboard.
