Saving Impulse drum sets

Post by BeatFeet » Sun Mar 04, 2007 7:24 pm

I'm having trouble getting a grasp of Impulse. The only way I know to make use of it is to drag an Impulse drum set from the browser onto a midi track. I have learned how to change those drum sounds. But there are two display modes of the Impulser. Type A is where I can change the drum set, type B is the note editor for the clip. I'm not clear how I get from type A to B. Maybe by recording a clip.

But now that I'm in B, how can I get back to the drum set so I can change the sounds?

And how do I save the new drum set for later use?

A/B Question: Bottom right of the screen when the midi track with impulse is selected, you can switch there between the impulse and the midi notes playing it for a clip.

Saving: Click the little floppy disk looking icon on the impulse. It will create a new patch in the browser. Give it name.

Shift+Tab (on the Mac, probably the same on the PC) will also filp the bottom panel between Clip View (the MIDI notes) and Track View (which shows the Impulse instrument / where you change drum sounds).
