Drumulator Owners Manual
2A Recording A Segment: Overview
Recording a segment:
•
Programming the metronome if necessary.
•
Erasing previously recorded sounds (if
necessary).
•
Defining the segment’s rime signature and the
number of measures in the segment
(“dimensioning” the segment).
•
Setting Auto Correct (to correct for any timing
errors).
•
Assigning the drum sounds you want to record
to the four Drum Play buttons (this includes
setting levels and/or accents).
•
Entering
record
mode and playing drum
sounds. The Drumulator memory
remembers
what you play
•
Editing the segment in case you want to make
changes.
After completing these steps you may then assign
different drum sounds to the Drum Play buttons, go
hack into record mode, change the Auto Correct
resolution or re-program the metronome if
necessary, and record more drums. Or, simply play
back the segment and groove to the sounds you've
just created.
2B Erasing a Segment
Erasing a segment clears out all existing drum
sounds, and automatically redimensions the
segment to two measures of 4/4. Before erasing a
segment, always check whether that segment
already contains drum sounds — you may want to
keep them.
Here’s how to erase:
1. Key in
a bank/segment number (Section 1F),
and press
RUN/STOP
to
play the segment. If
you hear a beep remember, the
METRONOME VOLUME
control must be up
for you to hear any beeps), the segment
contains no drum sounds. If you hear an
existing drum pattern and you want to keep it,
key in a segment which is empty, or one which
you are willing to erase.
