I have a request, could the color scheme of the contextual help to be amended so that they can be used with visual impairments and becomes readable without anger?
Grey on gray background is quite difficult, but the red and yellow and green tags and titles I can not read - it blurs despite good glasses and a 24 "HD monitor.
I'm sorry, but the color scheme is a disaster, the help I can not personally use as it is - and always use the web help is in the context of quite wrong and impractical.
And the next wish is an step by step instruction how to generate easy minimalistic rhytms first without any percussions and then build also minimalistic percussions an merge them into the former generated rhytms.
It drives me crazy, but I cannot find any possibility to get empty rhytm-set (only rhytm without any percussions - if I use advanced, clear all loops there is still some percussion in newly generatet rhytms in rhytm-generator.
I think the potential of mdrummer is top but as a noob it is not easy to understand some paradigmas of that.
I'll describe my imagines of "workflow"
1. Load a drumkit on channel 1
2. Load a empty rhytm withot any activatet instrument or drum or cymbal or what ever, but with the a selected base-rhytm in "background" for generating for example a new blues-pattern-set.
3. build a beat by hand:
3.1. load some drums or instruments an build a pattern under beat-section
3.2. generate from that one pattern a set of rhytms with individual preferences (or at first with the default preferences - but without the percussions at first)
4. Safe that under a new name
I'd never been succesfull till now after testing hours after hours. Everytime either there is some Cybal or Chinese-Crashes, that I never have would, or some drums that I've never wanted play anyway - it seems not to be so easy as I mentioned...
And thats the reason why it's urgently required to have a tutorial or a step by step instruction to do these things.

1) You build your minimal loop by hand - completely. Use the rhythm editor for that. Note that you can always save your loops and re-use them later as a skeleton for something new.
2) When you're done add percussion and "decorative" elements via the "Merge" button in the rhythm editor's "Globals" menu to every beat where you want it.

3) Use the schearch function of this forum 
But anyway meldaprod and users will always help you here so welcome
For the visual impair thing you can change the skin in mdrummer
Click on the menu button at the top right corner of Mdrummer and then "style"
I wish you an happy styling :p

Hey - that is courage, thanks folk!
I'll play more around and I'll try not to loose patience - it's not as easy as it seems to be
It's a dificulty, that there is the language-barrier, and some things will be not understood so as you mean, but I think, that we're together come to an target - thanks once more for the help offer.

In general (at least this is my way): if you know what you want, always use the rhythm editor instead of the rhythm generator. With copying a loop and only altering its parameters (see the bottom half of the editor window) you can create a lot of varying loops in less time than one may think. Make use of the loop boxes, too (and also use c+p here), to establish subtle changes for a "human" feel and anti-boring loop creation.
If you want a quick and versatile one-click-solution though (or a start for further developing) use the generator first and then refine it using the editor.

Ruben, please always use multiple topics for multiple questions, topic like this will be useless for other people in the future.
Anyway I guess people already responded, but:
COLORS - try a different style OR use PDF documentation OR let MDrummer show it in web browser.
PERCUSSION - I sense you don't really mean percussion and it's the language barrier. So if you want a rhythm without cymbals, then it's really easiest to do it in rhythm editor OR in rhythm generator choose "Empty base rhythm" (in the root).
