How the Pattern Brush Tool Works
When you select the Pattern Brush tool you can click and drag in the Drum Grid pane (also works in
the Note pane) to produce a series of notes. Which notes appear in the Drum Grid depends on the
settings you make in the Pattern Brush tool’s drop-down menu. To open the Pattern Brush tool’s
drop-down menu, click the right side of the Pattern Brush tool.
The following table covers the options found in the Pattern Brush tool’s drop-down menu:
Option Description
Velocity Select this option to open the Pattern Velocity dialog. The value you enter in
this dialog sets the default velocity for all notes entered using the Pattern
Brush tool unless you select Use Pattern Velocities.
Use Pattern Velocities Select this option to use the note velocities used in the custom pattern file you
are using. If you are using the Note Duration option, this option is not
available.
