Using the Keymap

In the key map at the bottom of the editor, you see the drum instruments or loop slices that are part of the drum or loop layer, and how they are mapped across the keyboard.



  • Keys with a drum instrument or loop slice assigned display in normal white and black.

  • The names of the drum instruments or loop slices are displayed vertically above the keys.

  • Keys with nothing assigned are deactivated and displayed in gray.

  • For loop layers, the pitched part of the keyboard is displayed in orange.

  • Clicking a key plays and selects the corresponding drum instrument or loop slice.

Note

The key map is used for indication and selection only. The mapping of the drum instruments and loop slices cannot be changed.

To edit a drum instrument or loop slice, you must select it first. You can select drum instruments or loop slices by clicking the corresponding keys on the key map or by using your MIDI keyboard.

To select a drum instrument or loop slice with your MIDI keyboard, activate Select Zones via MIDI in the top section of the layer editor and press the key that plays the drum instrument or loop slice that you want to adjust.

You can edit the selected drum instrument or loop slice using the parameters on the Pitch, Filter, Amplifier, and AUX tabs.
