In the top left corner, there are two buttons marked Main, and Setup. These buttons each represent their own page in DigiDrum Pro. When the plugin is opened, the Main page will be visible, and the Main button will be lit. If you press the Setup button, it will light up, and the plugin will show you the Setup page, where some more tecnical settings can be made. The Setup page also holds the Global Filter section, which will be covered later in the chapter Global Filter section There are many controls, but you will learn quickly. To assist you, we built in a small tooltip display in the top right corner. If you hover the mousepointer over a control, a hint will be shown in the tooltip display. DigiDrum Pro features different types of controls. Here is an explanation to the control types. Knobs To alter the value of the parameter represented by the knob, click and hold on the knob with your mouse pointer - If you want to turn the value up, simply move the mouse forward, and the knob will turn while changing the value in the parameter display below - If you want to turn the value down, move the mouse backwards. If you hold down the CTRL-key while turning a knob, the knob will turn slower, giving you the possibillity to finetune your settings. If you need a certain value, you can click the parameter display below the knob. You can then type a specific value, press ENTER or click the mouse somewhere else, and the knob will update it's position to reflect the new value immediately. ATTENTION: Some knobs range from 0 to 1000, and some knobs range from -500 to 500. Only values within a knob's specific range will be accepted. Drop-down menus Drop-down menus are only represented by their parameter display. It shows the current setting for the parameter. If you click the parameter display, a drop-down menu with all available choices will appear. You make your choice by simply clicking on it. The parameter display will then update the value to reflect the current setting. Triggers There is one Trigger button for each Part. The Trigger is used to preview sounds easily while tweaking. To preview the sound, just click on the trigger with you left mouse-button. Sliders Sliders behave exactly as knobs in all ways. Please refer to the section 'Knobs' above for more details. Power Switches There is one Switch for each Part. The Switch is used to turn the part on or off. This is handy when you need to mute Parts while playing. Wav-import Buttons There is one Button for each Part. The Button will only be active when 'User wave' is selected as the Part Waveform. When you press the Button, a file dialog will appear, and you can browse your computer for your desired wavefile to import. User Wave import wil be covered in details in the chapter Waveform section. |
