Inputting notes in the drum editor

You can input notes into your project in the drum editor.

Procedure

  1. Expand the player tracks containing the unpitched percussion instruments into which you want to input notes.

    You do not have to expand individual unpitched percussion tracks to input notes in them.

  2. Click Draw Percussion in the Play toolbox.
  3. In the drum editor, click in the unpitched percussion tracks at the positions where you want to input notes.

Result

Each time you click on a track, you input a note in the corresponding instrument. The current rhythmic grid value determines the duration of the notes.

Note

  • The duration of notes is indicated by a highlighted area in the track. The shape of the note event in the drum editor is the same for all durations.

  • You can also use the Draw tool in the drum editor just like in the piano roll editor. However, if using the Draw tool, you must click and drag notes to input them instead of just clicking at a position.
