TUTORIAL 3 - CREATING A DRUM
PATTERN
57
When you have selected a patch, you will note that a sample file name is displayed at the top of each drum
sound channel in the drum machine. There may also be different parameter settings for the different drum
sounds - all these settings are part of a Redrum patch.
5. Try out the drum sounds by clicking the audition buttons at the top of each drum sound
channel.
Now, let’s start building a pattern. By default, the empty patterns have sixteen steps, with each step corre-
sponding to a sixteenth note (so that the length of a pattern is one 4/4 bar). To make things simple, we’ll
keep this setting for now.
6. Click the Run button on the Redrum device panel.
The pattern will start playing (as indicated by the running “LED” on the step buttons at the bottom of
the device panel). Nothing will be heard, since you haven’t added any drum beats yet.
7. Click the Select button for one of the drum sounds.
In Redrum, you add drum beats for one sound at the time.
