Each row represents a specific pitch. Similar to the Drum Editor in the Piano Roll view (in some

ways, you can think of a row as a different way of looking at the Drum Map Manager dialog), the

controls for each row are located at the left side of the row.

You can insert, delete and reorder rows. The current row is outlined to indicate which row has focus.

To expose all controls, click a row’s Select button. Each row has the following controls:

• Select. Use this button to expose advanced parameters and select the row or rows you want to

edit in the Controllers pane. If multiple rows are selected, the Controllers pane is displayed below

the top-most selected row. The Controllers pane is hidden if no rows are selected. See To select

rows, To edit controller events on a single row and To edit controller events on multiple rows

simultaneously.

• Note Name. This control shows the name of the note to which the row is mapped. Click the note

name to audition the pitch. To rename the note, right-click the row and select Rename Note from

the pop-up menu.

• 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.

• Incoming MIDI activity indicator. This indicator lights up if the row is receiving MIDI input.

• Shared MIDI channel indicator. This indicator lights up if a selected row shares the same MIDI

channel as any other row. This is a convenient reminder that any controller events you insert in

the row will also affect all other rows that share the same MIDI channel.

• Output. Use this control to assign all selected rows to any available software instrument or

drum map. You can also access the Map Properties dialog from the drop-down menu. By default,

each row is assigned to the track’s output. If you assign different rows to different outputs, the

step sequencer will automatically assign the rows to a new drum map (see Using the Step

sequencer with drum maps).
