IMPROMPTU: Help: Blocks: Percussion Blocks
There are two kinds of Percussion Blocks -- Drumblocks and Pattern Blocks. Both kinds of Blocks are played by percussion instruments selected by the user -- conga, woodblock, bongo, etc. Sets of Percussion Blocks are in files listed in the Catalog when the Drummer Playroom is selected.
Drumblocks
 |
A Drumblock plays a single duration and the icon is a number that indicates that duration. Durations of Drumblocks are proportional to one another: a series of 3-Blocks played by a percussion instrument goes twice as fast as a series of 6-Blocks. Drumblocks can be dragged into the Playroom Area. Single digit Drumblocks can also be entered into the Playroom by typing the duration number on the selected voice in the Playroom. |
Pattern Blocks
 |
Pattern Blocks play a series of varied durations that together create a rhythmic pattern. Pattern Blocks and Drumblocks can be used to make percussion pieces or percussion accompaniments to tunes. |
