Drum Map Editor
The drum map editor can be used to create and edit drum maps.
The "Drum maps" list on the left-hand side displays all drum maps which are available
to the project. The drum map GM General MIDI is always available to start off with.
New: Creates a new, empty drum map.
Copy: Creates a copy of the existing map. This way you can quickly create variations
of a drum map with various note allocations which can then be toggled via the drum
editor.
Load/Save: Use this to save a drum map (*.map file). This way you can use a drum
map you created for a synthesizer in other projects as well. All loaded maps will be
displayed in the "Map" menu of the drum editor.
Delete: Removes the selected drum map from the project.
Use the name field to rename the selected drum map. The settings (mapping) of the
individual notes for each drum map will be displayed below this in tabular format.
Pitch: This is the incoming MIDI note.
Instrument: Displays the name of the drum instrument, e.g. "Bassdrum 1".
Grid: If desired, you can set up a grid for the starting point of the drum events.
Length: In this field you can set the grid for the note length.
Output note: This is the note value to which the drum instrument (the incoming MIDI
note in the "Pitch" field) should be routed or mapped.
Channel: You can set up an individual channel for each instrument here.
Quantization options: This opens the dialog for the each instrument's quantization
options (view page 207).
Instrument, gr
id,
length... apply to all: This applies the corresponding setting of the
selected instrument to all other instruments.
Score editor
The score editor displays the MIDI data of a MIDI object as a score sheet. It
"interprets" the available MIDI data into real time. If you move or change the MIDI
data, such changes are immediately reflected in the score image. If you insert a new
note in the score editor, a corresponding MIDI "Note on" event is created
immediately. Therefore, do not view the score editor as a score painting program, but
more as an interpreter for MIDI data.
