• Create a pattern with a simple Kick pattern on each beat. Let it loop.
• Enter Step mode and select the kick drum (press Shift + Kick).
• Press and hold one of the lit Step buttons. A white LED will light beneath the
Roller/Looper strip at the default value of 1.
• While holding the Step button, slide your finger along the strip to select a value of
2. The next time the pattern reaches that point you will hear the kick drum play
twice in the space of a single step.
• Try the same process with Step Repeat values of 3 and 4 on other steps to hear
the difference between them.
You will quickly see how easy it is to create exciting and innovative patterns using the Step
Repeat feature!
♪
: Press a Step button quickly in Step Edit mode to toggle an event on and off. This action will also
reset the Step Repeat value for that event to 1. But if a Step button is held for 700 milliseconds or longer,
you can view or change the Step Repeat value for that event without toggling the event on or off.
4.2.7. Shift timing of events
Sometimes the secret to a killer groove is when one or more instruments are landing
consistently behind the beat. Alternately, if one of the instruments is always a bit ahead of
the beat it can increase the sense of urgency in the music.
The DrumBrute Impact allows you to shift the timing of any step forward or backward by
up to 50% of the pattern’s timing value. It’s easy to do:
• Create a pattern with a kick and snare, and add 1/8th notes on the Closed Hat.
Let the pattern loop.
• Enter Step mode and select the closed hat (press Shift + Closed Hat).
• Press and hold one of the lit Step buttons.
• While holding the Step button, turn the Swing encoder counter-clockwise. The
display will begin to show negative numbers from -01 to -50. The selected event
is being shifted so it will play slightly earlier in the pattern, as you will hear the
next time the pattern loops.
• Repeat the process using a different event, only this time turn the encoder
clockwise. The display will show positive numbers from 01 to 50, which means
the selected event is being shifted to play slightly later in the pattern, as you will
hear the next time the pattern loops.
Once you have the groove sounding exactly right, remember to save the pattern (hold Save
and press the Ptrn button).
Using the Shift Swing encoder without holding a Step button will shift all the steps
of the current instrument. The display will always start at a shift value of 0.
♪
: The [Shift + Swing] option is an easy way to quantize a whole instrument after an unquantized
recording.
