Assigning Note Names
Each patch may have a list of up to 128 names for notes. Usually, note
names are labels for percussion instruments. For example, the pitch C3
may really be ÒKick Drum,Ó and D3 may be ÒSnare.Ó Because a drum
machine may provide different drum kits for each patch, Pro Audio lets
you specify a different list of note names for each patch. The Piano Roll
and Event List views show you these note names.
You can assign a note name list to each patch. You can also assign a
default note name list to the instrument, which is used for all patches for
which you havenÕt assigned a speciÞc note name list.
Each patch can also be assigned a special Drum ßag, which indicates
that this patch contains drum sounds. If you set this ßag, the Piano Roll
view will display drum notes as diamonds, and the Staff view will use
percussion notation.
There are several standard note name lists provided with Pro Audio:
