[Other] Making Drums in Anvil Studio

[im_mega]

So, I've been getting more into music hacking, seeing as for my hack I plan to have custom music (I know some music theory). But, looking at tracks, the track for drums is supposed to be 0, yet in anvil studio, I can't select 0 as an instrument! Anybody know a way to use drums?

Just set the instrument to acoustic grand if you want that track to play drums.

When it comes to selecting instruments, you generally take it's number in anvil studio and subtract 1 to get it's in-game value.

But isn't value 1 (or acoustic grand) used for Bright Acoustic? How would I use Bright Acoustic along with drums? Thanks!

To clarify, a value of 0 can be used for Acoustic Grand or Drums depending on the voicegroup for the song. In voicegroups without any drum samples, 0 will usually be used as an Acoustic Grand. For songs with drums, you won't have have Acoustic Grand. As for Bright Acoustic, that's just instrument 1 like usual. If the voicegroup has both Drums and Bright Acoustic defined, you'll be able to use them together with no issues.
