I was taking a look at some of the grooves. Sometimes, there’s a line extending from a MIDI note. What does this mean and does one use it? I’ve attached an image of what I’m seeing. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the manual about it.
This is notes that control Future Hit instruments (shaker, tambourine, maracas etc. – the ones in the top right corner of the Drums tab). The special thing about these instruments is that the transient of some of their midi note are the endpoint of the note, not the start (as regular drums). You want the shaker to start to “rattle”, a pre-swoosh to happen, before the transients (the loudest part of the sound) plays.
This is illustrated by the image you attached – there’s a “pre” sound, that builds up to the transient (the diamond in the end). Does this clear things up for you?
