join, but it uses a generated drumset.
Hold Shift to let MDrummer generate 2 drumsets and merge them. This way you usually get fuller sound with even bigger variability at the
expense of higher CPU cost. It performs the same action as clicking the button twice, holding Ctrl for the second time.
Generate Effects button
Generate Effects button loads random set of effects to all drums. Hold Ctrl to avoid removing the current settings, hence appending the new
effects into the chain. Note that this feature creates lots of effects, so as result the CPU requirements may increase significantly. If you won't be
happy with the result, you can just use the Undo button to revert last load & join.
Note that some of the original effects may be kept intact, because they have been present when the drum has been loaded and they are part
of the sound character. For example, several bass drums are processed using a waveshaper, which gives them the typical rough character.
Removing it would change the tone, it is kept in the queue and new effects are added after it. If you want to remove these effects, delete
them manually or hold Shift when pressing the button.
Undo button

Drumset designer is a special tool, which lets you manage your drumset easily and effectively using so-called components.A component is a
small drumset, which contains one more more drums. For example, a hihat component contains 3 drums - a closed hihat, an open hihat and a
pedal hihat. These 3 drums are tuned together to have appropriate loudness and sound character, so that this combination makes sense and
is called a component.
The drumset designer automatically analyzes the available components and lets you select each of them for your drumset, randomize them,
