Drum Editor Operations
This section describes the principal editing operations within the Drum Editor.
Creating and Editing Note Events with the Drum Tool
• To create a note, select the Drumstick tool and click in the Drum Editor.
If Snap
is deactivated on the toolbar, the note event appears exactly where
you clicked.
If you have activated Snap and
deactivated Use Global Quantize on the
toolbar, the note events snap to positions according to the quantize value set
for the sound in the drum sound list. You can set up different quantize values
for different drum sounds.
If Snap and Use Global Quanti
ze are activated, the note snaps to positions
according to the Quantize setting on the toolbar.
The length of the inserted note is determined by the Inse
rt Length setting on
the toolbar. However, if this is set to Drum-Map Link, the note gets the length
of the quantize value for the drum sound.
• To remove a note, select the Drums
tick tool and click on an existing note.
• To audition the drum sounds, click the leftmost column of the drum sound list.
Moving and Transposing Note Events
There are several options to move and transpose note events.
• To move note events in the editor, select the Object Sel
ection tool and drag
them to a new position.
All selected note events are moved, maintaining their relative positions. Snap
is ta
ken into account.
• To allow only horizontal and vertical movement, hold down [Ctrl]/[Command]
while dragging.
