Velocity scaling: The velocity value of each note is multiplied by the V
value/100 entered here and adjusted to the MIDI velocity between 1 and 127.
Scaling is audible but is not visualized further.
 Cell mode: When the drum editor opens, "Cell" mode activates by default. This
is solely a view mode which permits an alternative view of the MIDI events.
 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.
