Shuffle: This controller changes BeatBox 2's timing. If the fader
is turned to the right, the eighth of a rhythm is played more and
more like a triplet. If that sounds a bit too abstract – simply try it
out, ideally with a pure 1/16 hi hat figure; you'll soon see what
the shuffle fader is capable of.
Grid: Here you can set the time resolution of the BeatBox. You
can choose from 1/8 notes (only for very simple rhythms), 1/16
(default), 1/32 (for more refined constructions).
Pattern editor - matrix
This is the heart of BeatBox. A click on any position in the drum
matrix creates or deletes drum notes (events). Clicking and dragging
draws in a series of notes. Together with the velocity editing options
(see page 247) (velocity), you can easily create drum rolls.
If "Shift" is held when you click on notes in the range, a rectangle can
be drawn out which selects the notes contained within this rectangle
(lasso selection). Selected notes can be copied by dragging them to
a new position. If "Ctrl" is also held down, then existing notes will
remain at the target position. Delete all selected notes by right
clicking.
Two special commands are available for selection:
Shift + double click Select everything in the bar clicked
on.
Shift + Ctrl + double click Select all
A simple mouse click cancels the selection. The selection is
automatically canceled after copying. If you want to keep your
selection, hold down "Ctrl" while copying.
