• Notes are displayed as cells, i.e. the note length is not displayed, but
rather a specific display width can be set. In the drum editor's cell
mode the display width for each instrument can be set individually in
each trackbox. (In the piano roll's cell mode the length value sets the
width).
• Cell mode serves to improve the overview especially when editing
MIDI drums and permits a structured and efficient workflow. This is
because the display can be limited to the most important
information, starting note positions, and velocity.
Mouse modes
The following modes are available for editing events, just like in the
piano roll:
Selection mode (1): You can use this mode to select drum events,
move, or change the length of one or several events simultaneously.
Draw pencil (2): In this mode you can draw drum events. If
quantization is also activated, they snap to the grid immediately when
you enter them.
Drum pencil (3): This mode also entails a draw function. However,
the quantization length is also taken into account when the events
are drawn.
Pattern pencil (4): This mode allows you to draw entire drum patterns
(or melody patterns). If you want to create a new pattern, you have to
select it first in "Selection" mode and press "Ctrl + P" simultaneously
(or go to "Edit" in the MIDI/Drum editor, then "Create pattern from
selection"). If you have created a preset pattern, then you can start
drawing at any position. The lowest note in the pattern is the pitch
you will draw.
Velocity tool (5): This mode allows you to mark events and change
the velocity values of all selected events in relation to each other.
Absolute values are entered when you hold "Shift", i.e. all changed
events receive the same velocity value.
Eraser (6): This tool lets you delete events with a single mouse click.
Zoom mode/magnifying glass (7): Sketch a rectangle to zoom in.
The left mouse button is used to zoom in, the right one is used to
zoom out.
