- If you want MDrummer to play notes, use MIDI channel 10 or switch to drum pad mode.
- To use MDrummer's rhythm engine you can use the MIDI command system or the integrated song sequencer.
- Use the integrated help system using F1 and check out MDrummer tutorial videos.
- There are multiple plugins and maybe a standalong application, which one should I use?

Minimal velocity
Minimal velocity defines threshold for the velocity of incoming notes. If the note has at least this velocity, it will be processed.
Otherwise it won't. This is useful to make source notes redirected to different target MIDI keys.
For example, you may have a drum sampler, which uses multiple MIDI keys for snare drum, each for a different kind of
stroke. So you can use the modifier to use part of the velocity range to produce a certain kind of stroke, and another part to
produce different one. Say normal drum hit and rim shot.
Velocity alteration
Velocity alteration defines how should the velocities be increased or decreased. This is mostly useful in combination with
minimal velocity.
GLOBAL SETTINGS
Global settings contains configuration for general MDrummer features, that are quite rare, so it is probable that you will need it
very rarely.
Drumset generator settings
Drumset generator settings contain advanced options for the drumset generator spread allover MDrummer. Whenever you
want a drumset or a component to be generated, this unit is executed and you can specify additional options to control it.
The drumset generator is based on the huge library of components, so the main issue here is to select which components
may or may not be used.
For example, for certain styles you may limit the selection to those components designed specifically for the style. Or if you
want only acoustic drums and do not use any synthetic ones, then the filter is again what you are looking for.
Note that if you specify any filter, then only predefined components are used. Normally, without any filter, MDrummer may
also choose to actually generate a component.
Prefer
Prefer may contain keywords, which the generator may used as a hint when choosing each component. In many cases using
Include or Exclude would cause too strong condition, which may restrict the list of available components to just a few. This
may not be desired, because MDrummer cannot be very creative afterwards and will start repeating the same components.
For example, specifying hiphop as include keyword may be quite radical, because despite there are for example hundreds of
