Settings Dialog
Press the Settings button (to the left of Rewind button), to adjust the various Drum Kit Settings.
Drum window is always on top
Use this checkbox to keep the Drums window on top of other program windows.
Note Velocity
When playing drums with a mouse or computer keys, the shift key toggles between two levels of note velocity. The
two velocity levels can be set any way desired. For instance, if you want the shift key to send quieter notes you can
set the shift velocity lower than the non-shift velocity.
Randomize
Use this checkbox to enable the program to send random velocity levels when playing the drums. This is handy
when using non- velocity sensitive devices. “Range” controls the amount of velocity randomization. Usually a
small range works best, around 10% to 30%. For example, if velocity is set to 127, and the random range is set to
20%, notes would randomly vary between a maximum velocity of 127 and a minimum velocity of 102.
