- ABOUT MELDAPRODUCTION
Song tab contains the integrated song sequencer. It is provided as complementary to the MIDI command method. Song sequencer is easier to
use, but far less versatile. However it provides features to actually convert the arrangement into MIDI commands, so you can actually edit your
arrangement here, then drag & drop the MIDI command file into your host and stop using the sequencer afterwards.
It also lets you create actual MIDI performance - no commands, but true drum MIDI file - this may come handy, if you want to edit the drum
performance manually afterwards.
Finally, if you want to use MDrummer for jamming, the song sequencer is the way to go.
Song structure panel
Song structure panel presents an alternative way to MIDI commands. You can create a predefined song structure containing verses, refrains
etc. and MDrummer will follow them. This is the easiest way, however MIDI command system is much more flexible. Note that when you start
using song structures, you should not use MIDI commands anymore, since it would collide with the song structure system.
Song structure editor shows all rhythm channel structures, so you can easily create your song layout. Then you can use the load & save
buttons to store it with all other MDrummer settings, so when you load it next time, MDrummer will be in the same state as before. This is very
powerful tool for realtime performances.
Moreover you can use the song structures to edit just a single rhythm structure and then render it as MIDI commands or even the notes
themselves using the arrow buttons in the bottom.
Enable button
Enable button toggles the song structure mode. When it is enabled you should not use MIDI commands, since they will be in conflict. However
