- ABOUT MELDAPRODUCTION
snare drums suitable for this style, only a few are actually marked hiphop, simply because they are suitable for several other
styles as well. But specifying hiphop as preference will make MDrummer use these more often, but not limit his creative
possibilities.
Exclude
Exclude may contain keywords, which must NOT be included in components used by drumset generator. You can specify
multiple keywords by separating them using semicolon ";".
For example, "studio;mtotaldrums" will forbid any studio drums,
because these have either studio or mtotaldrums keyword in their names.
MIDI settings panel
MIDI settings panel contains additional settings controlling MDrummer's behaviour for incoming MIDI events. The most
important is probably the MIDI input mode you can use to override MDrummer's rhythm system. The MIDI transpose
parameter can shift all incoming notes and is useful when you want to control MDrummer using a MIDI keyboard, which has
just a few octaves and doesn't provide transposing.
MIDI
input mode
MIDI input mode defines how MDrummer reacts on incoming MIDI notes. By default mode Full makes MDrummer be driven
by rhythm commands on channels 1-9 and you can trigger particular drums on channel 10 as usual. However you can make
MDrummer play drums on every channel (Notes only), use only channel 10 and ignore the others (Notes on channel 10
only) or even completely disable the MIDI input (Disabled).
MIDI
transpose
MIDI transpose moves all notes by specified offset up or down. It can be a lifesaver when you are controlling MDrummer
using a small keyboard for example.
Use
drum channels as MIDI output channels
Use drum channels as MIDI output channels makes MDrummer produce drum MIDI notes depending on the drum output
channel. By default all notes are set to channel 10 as defined by MIDI. By enabling this option, channel of notes for particular
drum will be defined by the channel of the drum, which you can configure in mixer and drumset editor.
Audio recording panel
Audio recording panel contains settings for MDrummer audio output recording. When playing as standalone or in your host,
MDrummer produces audio output, but it can store it as WAV files as well. This may come handy when jamming with a
background audio for example.
Enable
WAV file output
Enable WAV file output immediately starts recording MDrummer output by settings specified below. This feature is useful for
example to record output of your practicing sessions.
