Drum Editor trackbox
In the drum editor, each individual note has its own trackbox, and individual
settings can be specified for each instrument. When zoomed out, each
trackbox can be increased in size with a simple mouse click.
S/M: Each individual instrument can be played solo (S) or muted (M).
Note number: The output note from the instrument can be set here. This can
be different to the note currently displayed in the MIDI object so that individual
drum instruments can be substituted. To put the display of notes back into the
usual order (deep notes at the bottom, highs at the top), click on "Map" at the
top and use the "Sort drum map" command.
Instrument name: Double clicking on this field lets you rename your drum
instrument.
Quantization options/colors: Use this menu to assign any one of the eight
different colors to the cells of a drum instrument. The dialog for the
instrument's quantization options is also opened here.
The dialog is the same as for global quantization options (view page 112), but
the se
ttings only apply to the individual quantization options if an individual grid
value is set for the note as well.
K
Output channel
#
Quantization grid, "Glo" refers to the global value (More information can be
found in the section "Quantization settings" on page 112)
L
N
ote length, # corresponds to the grid value, "Glo" to the global value
Length of the notation, # corresponds to the grid value (i. e. the entire cell
width), "Glo" refers to the global value of the note length
V
Velocity scaling: The velocity value of each note is multiplied by the value
set here in %.
Scaling is audible, but is not visualized further. The purpose of this setting is
the customization of the volume ratio between the individual drum instruments.
Software instruments usually provide their own mixers.
Drum Maps
Drum maps specify individual instruments, e.g. bass, drum, hi hat, snare, etc.
An individual output note, MIDI channel, and velocity scaling can be set for
each of these instruments.
