Step 3: Setup a rhythm
Quick setup module handles everything again. In the right part called Rhythms locate a rhythm you want to load by double-clicking on the file (or
you can use the Load button underneath). Settings panel defines additional rhythm properties such as tempo, shuffling or humanization. You
should notice the Additional button, which contains some additional features, such as when should MDrummer replace snare drum hits by rimshot
hits. Again there are many advanced possibilities for merging or generating the rhythm, but let's keep it simple.
Note the Channel selector. MDrummer can handle up to 9 rhythms at once. The channel 1 is selected, so you have loaded the first rhythm, we call it
rhythm channel 1. You can use multiple rhythm channels to make MDrummer play different rhythms in separate parts of your song, or even to play
multiple rhythms at once. Why 9 rhythms? You will understand it very soon.
Controlling virtual drummer
Now let's listen to some MDrummer's performance. Use playback to control MDrummer "by hand". You can use it to command him to play a break
etc. First enable playback by clicking on the play button. Now you should be able to hear a piece of music.
