The Pattern Brush Tool
The Pattern Brush tool , on the Piano Roll View toolbar, allows you to insert
multiple notes using your mouse, either following a pattern used in an existing
MIDI file or at the current note duration setting.
How the Pattern Brush Tool Works
When you select the Pattern Brush tool you can click and drag in the Drum Grid
pane (also works in the Note pane) to produce a series of notes. Which notes
appear in the Drum Grid depends on the settings you make in the Pattern Brush
tool’s dropdown menu. To open the Pattern Brush tool’s dropdown menu, click the
right side of the Pattern Brush tool.
The following table covers the options found in the Pattern Brush tool’s dropdown
menu:
Option… Description…
Velocity Select this option to open the Pattern Velocity dialog. The
value you enter in this dialog sets the default velocity for
all notes entered using the Pattern Brush tool unless you
select Use Pattern Velocities.
Use Pattern Velocities Select this option to use the note velocities used in the
custom pattern file you are using. If you are using the
Note Duration option, this option is not available.
Use Pattern Polyphony Select this option to use the pitch values from the custom
pattern file you are using. If you are using the Note
Duration option, this option is not available. When using
this option, the vertical position of your mouse does not
affect the note pitches draw; that information is read from
the pattern.
Note Duration This option uses the current note duration setting in the
Piano Roll View toolbar as the interval between notes.
