Hi again people, quick question to anyone who can help. I inserted a drum pattern into my project using beat designer. pressed play and it plays back to me fine. the problem is that no wave form is present. any thoughts? I use an akai mpk mini for a midi controller, but not sure if that matters because like i said i used beat designer with a prest drum loop .
 
I'm pretty noob my self but I think the midi mapping will just show small dots instead of waves. Like key strokes on a piano roll. Try bring up the mapping option for the piano roll and you should be able to see it and edit it.
 
Yes, and the 'Drum Editor' is what you want to use for drum MIDI. You can select the MIDI editor from any MIDI event just by double clicking on it. In 'Preferences' you can change the default to be either 'Key Editor' or 'Drum Editor'. File>Preferences>Event Display>MIDI>Default Edit Action-drop down menu. You can also select the editor from the MIDI menu in the Project window.
