PROGRAMMING DRUM TYPE PATTERNS
Drum type patterns can be programmed using grid programming, step programming,
adaptive recording or realtime recording. Each method has it's strengths, so you can
choose the appropriate method for your situation. Realtime recording and step recording
can also be used simultaneously with grid programming, allowing for very interactive
sequencing.
GRID PROGRAMMING
Grid programming mode is the default mode and is always active, meaning that you
don’t need to enter record mode to use grid programming. Grid programming is the
"classic" method of entering triggers using the pattern step buttons. You can see the
programmed steps directly on the step LEDs. Accented triggers are shown with a brightly
lit LED, unaccented triggers are shown with a dim LED.
ADDING OR REMOVING A TRIGGER
After selecting the appropriate drum instrument, use the pattern step buttons to enter
triggers for the instrument. Clicking a pattern step button once enters an unaccented
trigger. To enter an accented trigger, double click the pattern step button.
