- 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?

- ABOUT MELDAPRODUCTION
Realisticity defines how much should MDrummer modify sound parameters to prevent chain-gun effect, which is very common when one
drum is hit many times.
Super-realisticity
Super-realisticity provides an amazing chain-gun effect protection introduced in MDrummer 4. This algorithm usually provides great results, but
also consumes significant CPU resources, therefore it is disabled by default.
Self fadeout length
Self fadeout length of the drum sound defines the time a drum sound becomes silent after it has been "closed" by itself, which can protect it
from stacking up (see only one instance) and in those cases fade out time is defined by this parameter.
Fade out length
Fade out length of the drum sound is the time a drum sound becomes silent after it has been "closed" by another drum. Drum can be closed
by another one to simulate for example hi-hats (see drum list) and in those cases fade out length is defined exactly by this parameter.
MIDI piano keyboard
In MIDI piano keyboard you can setup MIDI keys associated with the drum. It is useful only when feeding MDrummer with MIDI, hence this
controls MDrummer's MIDI input. MDrummer's rhythm system uses drum types rather than MIDI keys to offer maximal compatibility,
therefore this option doesn't make a difference. Note that MDrummer configures MIDI keys automatically depending on actual drum type to
free you from complicated configuration and make resulting drumsets maximally compatible.
Click on a piano key to enable/disable the association with this drum. Each key can have following colors :
Black/white - the key is not assigned to any drum.
Red - the key is assigned to this drum.
Blue - the key is assigned to another drum.
Collapse button

Tab selector
Tab selector switches between subsections.
Velocity layers
Velocity layers panel lets you setup velocity layers for this drum. MDrummer processes notes for the drum by playing sound of one or more
layers. Each velocity layer has a separate sound source which you can configure below. Drum effect pipeline is shared for all layers of the
drum.
Menu button
Menu button shows a menu with additional features.
