Drum Pattern Options
Relative Weight (USUAL SETTING =5)
Relative Weight is the number that you assign to the pattern from 1 - 9.
Numbers from 1-8 indicate how often you want the pattern to be played in
relation to the other patterns on the same row.
A weight of 9 is a special setting that ensures that the pattern will ALWAYS be
played. Patterns assigned a weight of 9 usually have other options set which
instruct the pattern to only be played at certain times (bar after a drum fill for
example).
Playback Bar Mask (USUAL SETTING =0)
Playback Bar Mask determines on what bars of the song the pattern will play.
The bar numbers are counted relative to the last part marker. Bar 1 is the first
bar after a part marker for example.
Bar mask setting of 0 is the default. This lets the pattern be played at any time.
Other bar mask settings:
1. pattern played at odd number bars only 1, 3, 5, 7, 9...
2. pattern played at even bars only 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...
3. pattern played on 3rd of 4 bar (3, 7, 11, 15..)
4. pattern played on 4th of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20...)
5. pattern played on 5th of 8 (5, 13, 21...)
6. pattern played on 6th of 8 (6, 14, 22...)
7. pattern played on 7th of 8 (7, 15, 23...)
8. pattern played on 8th of 8 (8, 16, 24...)
