2.1.3. Set the tempo
When Sync is set to Internal, the tempo range of DrumBrute Impact is 30-300 beats per
minute (bpm).
There are three ways to set the tempo for your pattern:
• Turn the Rate/Fine encoder.
• Use the Tap Tempo button.
• For fine tempo adjustment, hold Shift and then turn the Rate/Fine encoder.
Each pattern can have its own tempo, but you can make DrumBrute Impact use the same
tempo for all patterns and songs. To do this, hold the Shift button and press Step button 15
(Global BPM). If Step button 15 is lit blue when the Shift button is pressed, Global BPM is
active.
The MIDI Control Center allows you to specify all features related to tempo and the
metronome. See the
Global Settings section [p.94]
for details.
If the DrumBrute Impact Sync parameter is set to something other than Internal clock then
you must set the tempo on the master device. Follow the link for information about the
settings.
♪
: When synced to an external device the DrumBrute Impact might not track properly with a tempo
outside of the 30-300 bpm range.
2.1.4. Enable the metronome
To enable the metronome, press the On button. You will hear a click only when the
DrumBrute Impact is running. Its output level is controlled with the Metro Volume knob.
The timing value of the metronome may be changed from the front panel. To do so, hold
the On button and select a value between 1/8 and 1/32. You will see the selected button turn
blue.
Note that it is also possible to “deselect” whichever timing value button is lit. This will result
in a 1/4 note click while the unit is running.
There is an additional 1/4T metronome timing value available using the MIDI Control Center.
