This is how your Beat+Bassline Editor should look like for the “All Instruments” pattern:įinally! Let’s start drawing some notes for each track/instrument! Remember to stay in the “All Instruments” track. Organ for the chords: church_organ04.ogg. We have only two tracks: one for the piano and one for the drums, which is the loop or pattern we designed in the Beat+Bassline Editor. The following picture shows the Song-Editor. The other way is to program all the instruments in the Beat+Bassline Editor, so that you have already all your sounds in a loop, and then just drag each instrument to the Song Editor here and there, to create a nice structure. The first way consists of programing the drums only in the Beat+Bassline Editor and the other instruments in the Song-Editor (see picture below). There are different ways to use the Song-Editor together with the Beat+Bassline Editor, but for this tutorial we will show one way. The Song-Editor is the window where you arrange all your song: where you will put your drums, where you will put a piano, where you will put the bass, etc. Then, you can use those loops in the Song-Editor. You create the structure of your song in the “Song-Editor”, the next section we will review.Īs I explained in the previous sub-chapter, with the Beat+Bassline Editor you create the loops for the drums arrangement of your song. Later, when you create the structure of your song, you will be able to “paste” or use this loop in different sections of your song. With the Beat+Bassline Editor you are creating loops! This means that when you click the play button of this window, the pattern that you draw in the grid (the green squares see image above to understand) will be repeated over and over, until you click the stop button. We will see the mixer window later in this article. But there will be a mixer where you will be able to mix the whole song. You can set the levels and panning for you drums here. Again, these controls are only for your drums while you are programming them. You can also see that you can set the volume and panning for each instrument you have in this window. But when you want to play the whole song, there will be other controls. You use these controls while you are designing (or as we say, programming) the drums. These buttons are not used to play the hole song, but to play just what you have within this window. As you can see in the image, there is a “Play” button and a “Stop” button in the Beat+Bassline editor. And you draw those green squares by left clicking the grid cells with the mouse. Each green square represents that the drummer is hitting the specific instrument. In the previous image, we have a kick, a snare, a hi hat and an open hi hat for our drums part. The “Setup LMMS” window will be shown with the “General Settings” tab displayed. Launch LMMS and open the menu Edit > Settings. Let’s start by opening the general settings.
