Note: If the row’s pitch has not been mapped in the drum map, double-
clicking the note name will open the Drum Map Manager (see The
Drum Map Manager), which allows you to create a new drum map.
When the Drum Map Manger is closed, the new drum map is
automatically assigned to the MIDI track.
• Note Number—Use this control to specify the row’s input note.
• Mute—This button mutes the row/note/pitch.
• Solo—This button solos the row/note/pitch.
• Velocity Offset—Use this control to apply a velocity offset to a
pitch. The value range is -127 to +127 and the default value is 0.
• Velocity Scale—This control sets a level of compression or
expansion for a pitch. The value range is 0.10 - 2.00 and the default
value is 1.00 (no compression or expansion). A value below 1.00 is
compression and a value above 1.00 is expansion.
• Note Cells (steps)—Notes are enabled by left-clicking in a cell and
disabled by right-clicking. Double-click a cell to edit the velocity for
that note. A note’s velocity is displayed inside the cell. Ctrl-click
between two adjacent notes to merge the notes together. Ctrl+right-
click to unmerge notes. Active steps are highlighted during
playback,
You can insert, delete and reorder rows. The current row is outlined to
indicate which row has focus. See To Reorder a Row, To Insert a Row and
To Delete a Row.
Beat Counter—The Beat Counter is displayed above the step grid and
each “light” in the counter represents a step. Each beat is displayed in an
alternate color and the current step is highlighted during playback.
Scroll Bars—Horizontal and vertical scroll bars make it easy to navigate
around a sequence that contains many rows or steps.
Controllers Pane
The Controllers pane in the Step Sequencer is similar to the Controllers
pane in the Piano Roll view and allows you to include Controller, Pitch
Wheel, Channel Aftertouch, RPN and NRPN events in your sequences.
