- 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?

Semitones
Semitones defines frequency of the harmonics. For example if the band is at 100Hz and number of semitones is 12
(default), then the first harmonic will be at 200Hz (12 semitones higher), second at 400Hz etc., thus logarithmically spaced
harmonics. When linearily spaced harmonics are enabled, this merely changes the ratio between them. In this mode,
100Hz is followed by 200Hz, 300Hz, 400Hz, 500Hz etc.
Maximal count
Maximal count defines maximum number of harmonics created.
Harmonics grid
Harmonics grid is useful to manually turn on/off particular harmonics.
Band advanced settings
Band advanced settings contains additional settings for the band. These contain some more esoteric features, such as a
dynamic transformation shape. It can be displayed by clicking right mouse button on a band while holding ctrl, from the
basic band settings window, or from the band list if provided.
General settings panel
General settings panel contains additional parameters, which are too scientific to be available from the main band settings.
Shape
Shape affects the processing shape. The plug-in features special non-linear transfer shapes which affect the way the level is
interpreted. Logarithmic mode is the most physical one, increase from -90dB to -80dB and from say -10dB to 0dB
produces the same difference in the output dynamic gain. However from the nature of it is tends to generate high gains
and usually a threshold is needed to set. Linear mode on the other hand tends to stay near minimum gains and usually is
the most aggressive. Squared mode is a compromise between these two. Comparing the three modes, Linear mode
requires the least amount of CPU power and Logarithmic requires the most.
