REDRUM DRUM COMPUTER141
The Enable Pattern Section switch
If this is off, Redrum will function as a pure “sound module”, i.e. the internal Pattern sequencer is disengaged. Use this
mode if you wish to control Redrum exclusively from the main sequencer or via MIDI (see “Using Redrum as a sound
module”).
Pattern functions
When a Redrum device is selected, you will find some specific pattern functions on the Edit menu (and on the device
context menu):
Chaining patterns
When you have created several patterns that belong together, you most probably want to make these play back in a
certain order. This is done by recording pattern automation into the main sequencer.
Copy MIDI Notes to a sequencer track
It’s possible to copy the MIDI Notes of the currently selected Pattern to a track in your DAW’s sequencer:

Description
Shift Pattern Left/Right These functions move all notes in the pattern one step to the left or right.
Shift Drum Left/Right The Shift Drum functions move all notes for the selected drum channel (the channel for
which the Select button is lit) one step to the left or right.
Randomize Pattern Creates a random pattern. Random patterns can be great starting points and help you get
new ideas.
Randomize Drum Creates a random pattern for the selected drum sound only - the notes for the other
drum sound channels are unaffected.
Alter Pattern The Alter Pattern function modifies the selected pattern by “shuffling” the current pattern
notes and redistributing them among the drum sounds at random. This creates a less
chaotic pattern than the “Randomize Pattern” function.
Note that there must be something in the pattern for the function to work on - using an
Alter function on an empty pattern will not do anything.
Alter Drum Works like the “Alter Pattern” function, but affects the selected drum sound only.
