2 Quickstart
 
In this chapter, you will find a quick guide to navigating the controls of STUDIO DRUMM
ER, as well as step by step guides to certain functions.
2.1 Basic Navigation
 
The  interface  has  four  main  pages  of  control.  You  can  navigate  among  these  pages  by 
clicking on the tabs at the bottom of the instrument's Performance View. The different pa
ges and their uses are as follows:
▪ Grooves  page:  On this  page  is a  browser  of many  genre-separated  MIDI grooves  and 
fills with variations that can be dragged to your host for immediate song creation.
▪ Options page: This page has options for technical kit settings such as kit mapping and 
velocity options, as well as randomization parameters.
▪ Kit page: You can select each drum on this page to adjust the overhead and room mix
es, tuning,  and  volume envelopes  for those  drums. You  can also  select which  snare 
you want to use, as well as load and unload the separate kit pieces.
▪ Mixer page: This page has all of the standard controls for  an  audio  mixer,  including 
levels, panning, solo, mute, send levels and channel routing. This is also where all ef
fect settings and effect routing options are edited.
