Drum Window Settings

Velocity: When playing drums with a mouse or computer keys, the shift key toggles

between two levels of note velocity. The default velocity is 90, with a default shift key

velocity of 127.

The two velocity levels can be set any way desired. For instance, if you want the shift

key to send quiet notes, program the shift velocity lower than the non-shift velocity.

Randomize: Enables the Randomize checkbox to send random velocity levels when

playing by mouse or computer keyboard.

Range: Control the amount of velocity randomization. Usually a small range works

best, around 10% to 30%.

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.

Instrument Hints: Customize appearance of the Hint line with Note Name,

MIDI Note Number and Computer Key.

Show: “Show All Instruments” shows all instruments in the drum window.

“Show Used Instruments” displays the basic trap kit, but does not display any extra

instruments unless they are used in a song. The drum window is cleared each time Play

or Stop is pressed.
