Using the Step sequencer with drum maps
By default, all rows in a Step Sequencer clip are assigned to the track’s output port, which could be a
hardware MIDI port, a software instrument, or a drum map.
If you re-assign rows to different output ports, the Step Sequencer will automatically assign the rows
to a new drum map.
The following diagram illustrates how the Drum Editor in the Piano Roll view, the Step Sequencer
and the Drum Map Properties dialog are all interconnected when using a drum map.
Note: If other clips are linked to the current Step Sequencer clip, all linked sibling clips will be
updated with the loaded pattern.
