Tool Palette

Post by ec_pat5150 »

it's been a while since i've used DP. I'm using the drum editor with Superior Drummer 2.0.

I cant' remember how to keep the tool palette open and accessible. The manual tells me to select "tools" under the studio menu, or to hold down "Shift+O". Both make the palette appear for a fraction of a second and then it disappears.

What can i do to make it appear long enough to make a selection?

that is strange - on my setup, those commands open the tools window and keep it open. no idea why it would not work that way for you. maybe mess around with the tools window prefs a bit, see if that changes anything. the "vertical tool palette" and "position tool palette automatically" prefs can be unpredictable, in my experience.
