Chapter 10: Built-in Drums
Animated Drum Kit
This sizable window is a cool animated 3D display of a complete drum kit, with
all 61 Drum sounds displayed on their instruments. Watch the various drum
instruments being played, or play-along/record on any of the drum instruments
by using QWERTY keys or a mouse. Very educational and lots of fun!
To launch the Drum Kit window, click the Drums button, or choose the
Windows | Drum Window option. Then the Drums Kit window will
display an animated display of a complete GM drum kit.
You can do several things with the Drums Window:
- Watch the Drum part being played on the Drums Window in real time.
- Play along with the drums in real time by mouse clicking on the Drum
Instrument, or using QWERTY keys (the key names to use are listed on the
Drums Window).
- Record a drum part into Band-in-a-Box. To do this, simply press RECORD
in Band-in-a-Box and play along.
Note: If you want to record a drum part to the Melody track, you'll have to set the Melody
channel to 10 using the M | MIDI Settings… menu item.
