Mod Wheel Back: snares ON
Mod Wheel Forward: snares OFF
A note about dissimilar regions
As a side note, look at the Region Window and notice that the Kick regions are now drawn with diagonal
hatching when a Snare region is selected, and vice versa. Th e hatching indicates regions whose structure is
different from the current focus region (in this case, the difference is that the Snare regions have a Mod
Wheel dimension, while the Kick regions do not).
Th e Editor warns you about dissimilar regions because in most cases, they cannot be included when you
perform a multiple-selection edit. To see what we mean, try the following exercise:
•
In the Region Window, click on the Right Snare region (F3) to make it the orange focus region.
•
Holding down the ALT key, drag the mouse across all four regions to select them. Th e F3 region
remains the focus region.
remains the focus region.
•
In the Velocity Window, drag the mouse to select all four velocity splits.
•
In the Mod Wheel dimension window, select only the upper (“snares off”) split.
•
Change an articulation parameter, such as Release Time.
Th e result is that the new Release Time will be applied to all of the velocity splits (because you selected them
all in the Velocity dimension), but only to the Snares Off versions (because only the Snares Off split is
selected in the Mod Wheel dimension). Furthermore, the new release time will be applied to both of the
Snare regions (E2 and F2), because they are both selected in the Region Window. However, the edit cannot
be applied to the Kick regions (C2 and D2). Why not? Because we specified that the edit should apply only
to the upper half of the Mod Wheel split, and the Kick regions don’t have Mod Wheel splits. In the face of
this conundrum, the Editor paints the problematic regions with hatch marks, and leaves them unchanged.
Toms

Th ere are three sets of Tom samples: High, Mid and Floor.
•
Th ey are stereo with four velocities.
•
Th ere are Snare On and Snare Off samples. With the Snare On samples, the snare drum buzz is
