You have to make sure it's a Keygroup program. Highlight the program in the program list screen and hit the "Misc" tab at the bottom of the screen. Portmhero should be in the midi section of that screen I believe.

That feature won't appear in a Drum program. Only Keygroup.

No doubt. I remember I thought I lost the Piano Roll screen with the OS update in grid mode. All I saw was a drum grid. It was because I was in a drum program and not a Keygroup program.
