How to find / list / step throught a certain sort of sound?
MDrummer, Pad Mode - how do I find a certain sound / list sounds?

In drum pad mode, under "QUICK SETUP" in "SELECTOR", assuming you have all the drum sets loaded, there should be three iterations of "Percussion". The second one has a triangle.blommberg wrote: Fri Apr 24, 2020 9:27 pm I search for MDrummer's triangles.

More generally, I find it helpful to load one of the drum kits, then go to "DRUMSET EDITOR", and then down below, under "DRUM" click on the space after "Type", and all the drums and types of percussion will pop up before your eyes, including that triangle. I hope that's helpful.
Beyond that, of course, there are always the folders of samples wherever you've installed MDrummer on your hard drive. They're organized and they're all wav files to give a quick listen to.

Mh, thank you, I have found this one triangle before but thought there must be more and better ones. I was used to few triangles, programmed in a way that the muted sound kills the long sound, ... Well - one can't have everything

That triangle in Percussion-Studio 2009 is actually a cowbell I think!
But there's good news: In Percussion-Studio 2018/ Misc, there are 6 triangles. Each one has open and muted, and they are programmed in VELOCITY LAYERS to swap depending on velocity. The muted sample is triggered by lower velocity, but if you think it's too quiet just set the 'Volume by velocity' slider lower in ADVANCED (not to be confused with the 'Volume by maximum velocity' button). Note that in DRUM, 'Only one instance' is enabled...thus the muting works.

Another related thing:
Bear in mind that a Drum Type is not an actual drum.
When you add a Drum Type in the DRUM LIST you then need to assign a drum to it in LAYER SOURCE. You could actually assign any source to any Drum Type E.G. something silly like a triangle (sample) assigned to Bass Drum 1 (type).
But when you 'load' a 'drumset' the assignments have already been made (saved).
E.G. the quest above for triangles that mute.
Adding a triangle Drum Type to the DRUM LIST, then browsing for a sample will get you a triangle but it won't get you the muting layers as described above.
The muting thing has been set up and saved (factory)...when you load a DRUMSET you are loading the Drum Type/ Source associations and all the settings.
And just generally, note that in the Rhythm Editor the loops consist of Drumtype tracks, not specific drums. Drumtypes are the bridge between RHYTHM and DRUMSET.
