Removing Steps
PROCEDURE
• To remove a drum step, simply click on the corresponding field again.
NOTE
To remove a range of drum steps, click and drag over them.
Velocity Settings
When entering a drum step, the velocity setting of this step is determined by where you click:
Click in the upper part of a step for the highest velocity setting, in the middle section for
a medium velocity and in the lower part for the lowest velocity setting. In the display, the
different velocity settings are indicated by different colors.
• To fine-tune the velocity setting for an existing drum step, click on it and drag up or
down. The current velocity is indicated numerically while you drag.
• To fine-tune the velocity for a range of drum steps, click on the first step, drag up or
down to enter velocity edit mode, and then drag sideways and up or down to modify the
velocity for all the steps.
If you change the velocity for several steps at the same time, the relative velocity
differences are kept for as long as possible (until the minimum or maximum setting is
reached). The velocity for the steps is increased or decreased by the same amount.
NOTE
If you hold down Shift while dragging up or down, you can change the velocity for all
steps on a lane.
• To create a crescendo or decrescendo for an existing range of drum steps, hold down
Alt, click on the first step, drag up or down, and then drag to the left or right.
Editing Operations
• To move all drum steps on a lane, hold down Shift, click on the lane, and drag to the
left or right.
• To invert a lane, that is, add drum sounds for all steps that were empty while removing
all existing drum steps, hold down Alt and drag the mouse over the lane. This lets you
create unusual rhythmic patterns.
• To copy the content of a lane onto another lane, hold down Alt, click in the section to
the left of the lane that you want to copy, and drag.
Lane Handling
• To add a lane, click the Add Instrument Lane button at the bottom right of the last
lane.
• To remove a lane, click the Remove Instrument Lane button in the controls section at
the far right of the lane.
• To change the order of the drum lanes, click in an empty area in the section to the left
of a lane, and drag it to another position.
