REDRUM

Programming Patterns

About Pattern Selection

As described in the Getting Started book, each pattern device (such as the

Redrum) has 32 pattern memories, divided into four banks. To select a pat-

tern, click a Pattern button (or, if the desired pattern is in another bank, first

click the Bank button and then click the Pattern button).

➜ If you select a new pattern during playback, the change will take ef-

fect on the next downbeat (according to the time signature set in the

transport panel).

If you automate pattern changes in the main sequencer, you can make

them happen at any position - see page 25.

➜ Note that you cannot load or save patterns - they are only stored as

part of a song.

However, you can move patterns from one location to another (even be-

tween songs) by using the Cut, Copy and Paste Pattern commands. This

is explained in the chapter “Using Pattern Devices” in the Getting Started

book.

Pattern Programming Basics

If you are unfamiliar with step programming patterns, the basic principle is

very intuitive and easy to learn. Proceed as follows:

1. Load a Redrum patch, if one isn’t already loaded.

2. Make sure an empty pattern is selected.

If you like, use the Clear Pattern command on the Edit menu or device

context menu to make sure.

3. Make sure that the “Enable Pattern Section” and the “Pattern” but-

tons are activated (lit).

4. Press the “Run” button.

There will be no sound, as no pattern steps have been recorded yet. But

as you can see, the LEDs over the Step button light up consecutively,

moving from left to right, and then starts over. Each Step button repre-

sents one “step” in the Pattern.

5. Select a Redrum channel, by clicking the “Select” button at the bot-

tom of the channel.

The button lights up, indicating that this channel and the drum sound it

contains is selected.

6. While in Run mode, press Step button 1, so that it lights up.

The selected sound will now play every time Step 1 is “passed over”.

7. Clicking other Step buttons so they light up will play back the se-

lected sound as the sequencer passes those steps.

Clicking on a selected (lit) step button a second time removes the sound

from that step and the button goes dark again. You can click and drag to

add or remove steps quickly.

8. Select another Redrum channel to program steps for that sound.

Selecting a new sound or channel also removes the visual indications

(static lit buttons) of step entries for the previously selected sound. The

step buttons always show step entries for the currently selected sound.

9. Continue switching between sounds, and programming steps to

build your pattern.

Note that you can erase or add step entries even if Run mode isn’t acti-

vated.

Setting Pattern Length

You may want to make settings for Pattern length, i.e the number of steps the

pattern should play before repeating:

➜ Use the “Steps” spin controls to set the number of steps you wish

the pattern to play.

The range is 1 to 64. You can always extend the number of steps at a

later stage, as this will merely add empty steps at the end of the original

pattern. You could also make it shorter, but that would (obviously) mean

that the steps “outside” the new length won’t be heard. These steps

aren’t erased though; if you raise the Steps value again, the steps will be

played back again.
