Editing Triggers

To edit a trigger, first select it by clicking on it with the mouse. Selected triggers are indicated with a blue border.

Selected triggers have a blue glow
As of version 1.1.0, the remaining triggers are dimmed slightly, to visual reinforce which triggers are currently selected.

When a trigger is selected, the trigger edit pane at the right of the screen becomes active. This edit pane is where you make any changes to the selected trigger.

Making Trigger Edits

Once you've selected a trigger to edit, use the controls within the trigger edit pane to effect your changes.

The trigger editing pane is split into 5 different tabs:

Editing Multiple Triggers At Once

You are not limited to editing a single trigger at a time. Zendrum Studio also allows you to select multiple triggers and edit them all at once using either of the following techniques:

To select a range of triggers:

  • Click and drag the mouse to create a "selection rectangle". Use this to surround or pass through the desired triggers

To select ALL triggers:

  • From the main menu, select Edit -> Select All
  • or press either Cmd+A or Ctrl+A

To select a variety of triggers:

  • Hold down the Shift key as you click triggers with the mouse to add/remove triggers from the selected set
When multiple triggers are selected, the title pane of the trigger edit pane will display the number of selected triggers. For some of the editable attributes shown in the pane, Zendrum Studio may display a "blank" value. This is done whenever the selected triggers do not all share the same value. For instance if you've selected 4 triggers that all have the same MIDI^®^ channel but different note values, the channel selection control would show the channel that they all share however the note selection control would be blank.
You can only select multiple triggers that all have the same MIDI status type. Also note that "select all" will only select the triggers that are on the Zendrum^©^ body as you typically would not be editing your CC controls at that time.

Right-clicking a trigger will select all other triggers that have the same note number and channel.

Swapping Triggers

You can quickly swap the content of two triggers by simply 'dragging' one onto another.

Drag one trigger onto another to swap or copy it

The values that are swapped are:

  • Note number(s)
  • MIDI Channel

Copying Triggers

Hold down the Alt key while dragging one trigger onto another and a copy will be made instead of a swap. Only the values listed above under 'swapping' are copied.
