Drum Editor operations
The basic handling (zooming, playback, auditioning, etc.) is the same
as in the Key Editor (see page 542). The following sections describe
the procedures and features that are specific to the Drum Editor.
Creating and editing notes
The standard way of entering notes in the Drum Editor is to click with
the Drumstick tool.
When you move the pointer in the note display, its bar position and drum sound is
indicated in the toolbar, making it easy to find the right sound and position.
The position of the created note depends on the following factors:
" If Snap is deactivated on the toolbar, the note will appear exactly where you
clicked.
In this mode, notes can be positioned freely.
" If Snap is activated and Use Global Quantize is deactivated on the toolbar,
the note will 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. You may for example
want hi-hat notes snap to sixteenth notes, but snare and bass drum snap to eighth notes.
" If both Snap and Use Global Quantize are activated, the note will snap to po-
sitions according to the Quantize setting on the toolbar (next to the Use Glo-
bal Quantize button).
The length of the inserted note is determined by the Insert Length set-
ting on the toolbar. However, if this is set to Drum-Map Link, the
note will get the length of the quantize value for the drum sound.
" You can quickly audition the drum sounds by clicking in the leftmost
column in the drum sound list.
This plays the corresponding note.
