drum partitions

1998-11-09 05:00 am

hi,

I just want to know how can I use the percussion instruments
by writing the notes. In program there is a drum sample, but
I couldn't understand which way have been used to write these
drum partitions. I have selected some drum alternatives from
the 'instrument patch' menu, but these are not the sounds
I want to hear. Can anyone help me?

For a complete drum explanation/tools, look at http://noteworthy.beyondtheweb.com/helpful.html and download the drumkit.zip file. It contains patches, explanations for "standard" drum notation.

Hope this helps

Ho, forgot : maybe this is what you need: usually drums are played on channel 10 or 16. If you already have percussion sounds, this is already done. Otherwise check that the channel is properly set (use [F2], select Midi tab, and check Channel listbox value).

There is also a sample file called "drumref.nwc" in the NWC distribution. This file shows the General MIDI drum note mappings which usually are supported on MIDI Channel 10.
