Good night, people! I'm in Brazil, that's why i'm saying good night ;P. I downloaded ableton yesterday, and i'm having problems with it. I'm trying to drag a drum to the left, but i would like to drag the drum with it's "wave", but i can not, when a drag this drum called "Grinder Kit" to the left it don't generate its "wave", because with the wave i can edit the song. Can you guys please help me??

You are dragging the instrument. The instrument loads the sound attributes to the channel, and then you trigger the instrument with midi notes. To add midi notes, you would create a clip, and the clip is probably what you are looking for.

There might be some confusion about the Preview sound. It is used to hear how the drum would sound. But that clip is not loaded automatically with the drum, and might not be easily available to use.

Still, there are clips in the browser and there’s a chance that there might be a selection of clips that use the drum instrument you are wanting to load.
