The MIDI editors
The Drum Editor – Overview
The toolbar, status line, info line, and
Inspector
These are much the same as the toolbar, status line, info
line, and Inspector in the Key Editor (see “The Key Editor
– Overview” on page 255), with the following differences:
• The toolbar has a Solo Instrument button that allows
you to mute all sounds except the selected one, see
“Mut-
ing notes and drum sounds” on page 275.
• The Drum Editor has 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).
These tools replace the Pencil tool.
• The pitch in the Mouse Note Position display on the sta-
tus line is shown as a drum sound name rather than a note
number.
• The Use Global Quantize button allows you to select
which value is used when Snap is activated – the global
quantize value on the toolbar or the individual quantize val
-
ues for the drum sounds.
• There is an Insert Length pop-up menu instead of the
Length Quantize pop-up menu.
It is used in much the same way, as described on the following pages.
• There are no Scissors and Glue Tube tools in the Drum
Editor.
• The status line does not contain a chord display.
The drum sound list
The drum sound list lists all drum sounds by name (ac-
cording to the selected drum map or name list – see be-
low), and lets you adjust and manipulate the drum sound
setup in various ways.
