Length: In this field you can set the grid for the note length.
Output note: This is the note value to which the drum instrument (the incoming
MIDI note in the "Pitch" field) should be routed or mapped.
Channel: You can set up an individual channel for each instrument here.
Furthermore, you can select swing, window, and near quantization for each
instrument in the drum editor.
Score editor
The score editor displays the MIDI data of a MIDI object as a score sheet. It
"interprets" the available MIDI data into real time. If you move or change the
MIDI data, such changes are immediately reflected in the score image. If you
insert a new note in the score editor, a corresponding MIDI "Note on" event is
created immediately. Therefore, do not view the score editor as a score
painting program, but more as an interpreter for MIDI data.
For instance, it is not possible to insert or delete rest symbols directly.
Samplitude 11.5 Producer automatically "registers" rests in the gaps between
the MIDI notes. You will therefore always have a valid score sheet and
"complete" bars, even if the MIDI object should only contain a single MIDI note:
the necessary rests are automatically inserted into the bars.
The common controllers of the MIDI editor in the score editor operate as usual,
e.g. the eraser is used for deleting notes or the pen for creating, copying, and
inserting new notes. In this chapter you will learn how you can edit your MIDI
objects within the regular score. While the event editor contains specific editing
options for certain details (dynamics, note length), it is better to make MIDI
changes directly in the score sheet as it guarantees a better overview.
Opening the score editor
The score editor is integrated into the MIDI editor window. If the MIDI editor is
opened, then you can activate the linear score view by pressing the "Score
editor (linear)" button.

Navigation: You can adjust the play cursor directly in the score by holding shift

of the range.
