DRUM
Drum
In DRUM mode you can create, select and play drum backing tracks (or Rhythms) to play along
with. All Rhythms are organized in ten Rhythm Families, each one of these is distinguished by a
specific music genre. The Rhythm Families are BEAT, DANCE, JAZZ&SWING, LATIN,
POP/RNB, ROCK&ROLL SHUFFLE, ROCK&SOUL, COUNTRY, PARTY and TRADITIONAL.
A Rhythm is composed by 5 parts or sections that play at the same time and can be mixed together
to create complex drum patterns. These parts are:
• DRUMSET
• REAL DRUM
• GROOVE 1 (LOOP)
• GROOVE 2
• GROOVE 2
The DRUMSET and the REAL DRUM parts are the backbone of the Rhythm: they are complete
rhythmic patterns that play a different pattern depending on the arrangement selected
(INTRO/END, ARR A, ARR B, ARR C, ARR D, FILL and BREAK). The main difference between
the DRUMSET section and the REAL DRUM parts is that the former is MIDI based (it is a MIDI
drum kit controlled by MIDI Note On / Note Off messages, similarly to the MIDI drum tracks of
MIDI files), while the latter exploits audio streaming techniques to play audio files directly from the
local hard drive.
The GROOVE parts are simpler than the DRUMSET and the REAL DRUM ones. They are MIDI
patterns or MIDI controlled audio sequences that play in loop patterns of one (e.g. tambourine or
