Thor86 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hello to everyone, I recently started to use MixPad and I am learning how to create drum beats with beat designer. Overall it is pretty straightforward, but what I couldn't understand is how I can make notes that last longer than a quarter. I need this for cymbals, but so far, the longest notes I could get are one quarter, while I sometimes need cymbals that go on for 2 or more bars. Hope someone can help me with this!

Telephony Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi, You can subdivide each beat in a track to create smaller beat durations. So, for your kick drum you may have a kick every 1/4 quarter note, but for your hi-hat you may have a hit every 1/8 note. To change the beat divisions click on the spanner icon of the track and change the number of divisions. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor86 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 That's clear but my problem is the opposite: I want to insert longer notes that last 4/4 or 8/4 or more. How can I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchBen Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi Thor86, Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, the beat designer was not created with this situation in mind, however I can see how it would be a useful feature. We are currently working on a range of improvements to the beat designer, and I will make sure this idea is put forward. Cheers, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
