Drums Display

Typing the d key, or choosing Drums from the Data Type pop-up menu within the current track’s titlebar, changes the desired track to show note data in the Drum Grid display.

The Drum Grid display shows the Drum Names associated with the current user-definable Drum Sets assigned to a given track. Note events associated with each Drum Name are shown as graphical Drum Strikes; each of the six available Drum Strike icons is displayed according one of the six user-definable velocity ranges. Velocity Ranges are saved within a Drum Set.

One of the advantages of Drum Grid style editing is that all Drum Names (drum timbres) are displayed across a single track, yet editing operations can be easily performed affecting only the data across a single Drum Name (drum timbre) within that track. In fact, within a single Drum track, all data across individual Drum Names (drum timbres) can be muted, soloed, selected, nudged and processed. For all intents and purposes, Metro’s Drum Grid can be thought of as having another hundred or so tracks within a single track.
