MIDI Source
The object that loads MIDI and acts as the shared source. It does not draw anything itself.
- Its placement defines the MIDI start (t=0), and every
Sharedobject syncs to the timeline at that position. - Note colors are configured here once and shared by the keyboard and all piano rolls.
The usual setup: place one MIDI Source on the timeline, and set the display objects to Source Mode = Shared.

Color Mode behavior
With Color Mode = Track or Channel + Track, colors are assigned per track / per combination based on Ch N Color. The keyboard, piano rolls, and 3D all use this setting.
