The MIDI editors
The Drum Editor – Overview
The toolbar and info line
These are much the same as the toolbar and info line in
the Key Editor (see “The Key Editor – Overview” on page
184), with the following differences:
• The Drum Editor has no Pencil tool – instead there is a
Drumstick tool (for entering and removing notes) and a
Line tool with various line and curve modes (for drawing
several notes in one go or editing controller events).
• There are no Scissors and Glue Tube tools in the Drum
Editor.
• As in the Key Editor, the mouse pointer display in the
toolbar shows the pitch and position of the pointer, but the
pitch is shown as a drum sound name rather than a note
number.
• The Use Global Quantize button allows you to select
which value should be used when Snap is activated – the
global quantize value on the toolbar or the individual quan-
tize values for the drum sounds.
• Instead of a Length Quantize pop-up, there is an Insert
Length pop-up menu.
It is used in much the same way, as described on the following pages.
The drum sound list
A drum sound list for GM Drum Map
The purpose of the Drum Editor is to edit MIDI tracks where
each note (pitch) plays a separate sound, as is typically the
case with a MIDI drum kit. The drum sound list to the left
lists all drum sounds by name (according to the selected
drum map or name list – see below), and lets you adjust
and manipulate the drum sound setup in various ways.
Please note the following:
• The number of columns in the list depends on whether a
drum map is selected for the track or not.
See “Working with drum maps” on page 202.
• You can reorder the columns by dragging the column
headings, and resize them by dragging the dividers be-
tween the column headings.
