While playing a MIDI file, have the snare selected an open the articulations drop down menu (the one that says “All Articulations”). In there, you’ll see what articulations the MIDI is playing.

For example – if you have a stack on “Center” articulation, but the MIDI plays the rimshot – the stack won’t be played. You can then either move the MIDI notes in the Grid Editor, so they play the Center (stacked) articulation, or you can move the stacks from the center articulation to the rimshot articulation (right click on the stacks and select “Move to Stack”.

For example, your Metal Confusion preset has 4 snares stacked, but when I hit the snare pad on my e drum kit only the first one plays. The other 3 do not.  

Select one of the stacks and check the Velocity Gate property box – you’ll see that it’s set to be triggered only within a certain velocity range. That means that if you hit the Center articulation with lower velocity – the stack won’t play.

If you play with more than 117 in velocity and the stack is still not playing – it means that your e-drum pad doesn’t trigger the Center articulation – which has the stacked drums. Some other articulation is being triggered. Try to check that too in the articulations drop down menu (or the “MIDI mapping” property box, “MIDI monitor” property box, or the MIDI Mapping Keys view.

Post back here if you get it, or don’t understand a thing what I am talking about 🙂 It’s a bit tricky in the beginning to get a grip over all the aspects of the stacking system.

Use the MIDI Monitor in e-drum settings page, or the MIDI monitor property box in the Drums tab to find out what CC values your hi-hat sends out when opened vs. when it’s closed. Report it here and we might be able to guide you further!

The manual is only available online, because of many reasons, where one is that we don’t want users to end up with old, not updated, manuals.
If you want to, you can save the web page and read it offline. In Google Chrome (for example), there is a menu item “More Tools” > “Save Web Page As…”. You should save every chapter as it’s own web page (so one page for “0.Introduction”, one page for “1.Installation” etc.). This can also be printed if one prefers to read it the old fashion way 🙂

Does it work if you resume the download? It will continue from 60%, so you don’t have to start from the beginning 🙂

Currently no, but it’s a good idea!
What I have done some times is right click a MIDI song block in the Song Creator and “Show in Browser” or “Search with Tags”. I then get pretty similar results shown in the Browser, or Search, where I can change velocity and tempo.

Thanks for the feedback – it’s noted 🙂
