Context menu
Right clicking a drum instrument always opens a context menu:
• Copy/Paste: Copy an instrument from a track and paste it to
another one.
• Empty instrument: An empty instrument is added. No sound is
played, it has no name, and is used to clean up an unused track.
• Default instrument: The standard instrument is added. It has the
standard parameter for all synthesis shapes and serves as the
starting point for your own sounds.
• Reset automation: BeatBox 2's own presets contain automations.
These are dynamic sound parameters like filter curves or pitch
changes. This command allows you to completely remove these for
the selected instruments.
Pattern editor buttons
Pattern: Use the <> buttons to switch through the different
patterns. The arrow to the right opens a list of all available
patterns, and the save button stores the current pattern.
Clear track/all: All events for the selected instrument (track) or
all events for the pattern (all) are removed by clicking this
button.
Bar selection: The bar you wish to edit can be selected via the
corresponding number button. Use the “Follow” button to
select follow mode, i.e. the step display follows the steps of the
currently played beat. All shows all bars of the pattern.
"1>2-4" Auto copy: If more than one bar is set as the pattern
length, "Auto copy" mode makes sure that the drum notes set
in the first bar are automatically placed into the next bars. This
also makes it easy to create a continuous beat, even with a
loop length of four bars. Notes set in the bars further back are
not affected by the "Auto draw" function, which, for example,
makes faint variations detectable only in the fourth bar.
Bars: The maximum length of a drum pattern is four beats. The
length can be selected via the small scroll bar.
