Background: Drum maps in the Score Editor
When scoring for drums, you can assign a unique note head to each pitch. There is
even the possibility to set up different note heads for different note values!
However, to be able to fully use this function, you need to understand a bit about drum
maps, and the use of these in the Score Editor.
About drum maps
Cubase handles drum editing by means of drum maps (see the chapter “The MIDI
editors” on page 481. In the Score Editor, the drum map displays different note heads
for different pitches.
You access the drum map by selecting “Drum Map Setup” from the MIDI menu.
