PATTERN

8. Click on the first step button (marked 1).
The button lights up, indicating a drum beat.
You will now hear the sound of the selected drum on the first beat of each bar.
9. Add more drum beats by clicking other step buttons.
Clicking a lit step button will remove the beat for the corresponding step.
q You can add beats of different strength (velocity level) by adjusting the Dynamic switch.
Exactly how each sound is affected by different velocity levels depends on the settings.
You can also adjust the dynamics “on the fly” by pressing [Shift] or [Option] (Mac) / [Alt]
(Windows) when you add beats. [Shift]-click for hard beats, [Option]/[Alt]-click for soft
beats.
10. Select another drum sound (by clicking its Select button) and proceed in the same way
until you have a drum pattern you want to use.
11. To stop the playback, click the Run button again.
That concludes the third tutorial!
In the following tutorial, we will describe how to add a bass line to the current drum pattern so you can
leave the current song open. Alternatively, save it in a location of your choice under a suitable name by se-
lecting “Save as” from the File menu.
