Drummer Editor overview

The content of Drummer regions can be edited in a dedicated Drummer Editor.

The left side of the Drummer Editor includes track-based settings. You can choose drum genres and drummers whose sound and playing style are applied to all content on the Drummer track.

The right side of the editor includes region-based settings, which influence the complexity, loudness, and other aspects of selected Drummer regions. You can choose and create presets for Drummer regions. Presets offer a quick way to browse predefined, region-based Drummer Editor settings, including percussion and kit piece pattern variations and fill settings.

Note: Drummer regions can be edited in the Tracks area in much the same way as you edit MIDI regions, with the exception of region overlapping. When overlapping, Drummer regions always use the No Overlap drag mode.
