About the “Edit Steps” Switch
If you set the pattern length to more than 16 steps, the pattern steps follow-
ing after the 16th won’t be visible, although they will play back. To view and
be able to edit the next 16 steps, you have to set the Edit Steps switch to 17-
32. To see and edit steps beyond 32 you set the switch to 33-48, and so on.
Setting Pattern Resolution
Redrum always follows the tempo setting on the transport panel, but you can
also make Redrum play in different “resolutions” in relation to the tempo set-
ting. Changing the Resolution setting changes the length of each step, and
thereby the “speed” of the pattern.
This is explained in the chapter “Using Pattern Devices” in the Getting
Started book.
Step Dynamics
When you enter step notes for a drum sound, you can set the velocity value
for each step to one of three values: Hard, Medium or Soft. This is done by
setting the Dynamic switch before entering the note.
The color of the step buttons reflect the dynamics for each step. Soft notes are light
yellow, Medium notes are orange and Hard are red.
➜ When the Medium value is selected, you can enter Hard notes by
holding down [Shift] and clicking.
In the same way, you can enter Soft notes by holding down [Option]
(Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and clicking. Note that this doesn’t change the
Dynamic setting on the device panel - it only affects the notes you enter.
➜ When you use different dynamics, the resulting difference in the
sound (loudness, pitch, etc.), is governed by the “VEL” knob set-
tings for each drum channel (see page 93).
If no velocity amount is set for a drum channel, it will play back the same,
regardless of the Dynamic setting.
➜ To change the dynamics for an already programmed step, set the
switch to the dynamic value you wish to change it to and click on
the step.
! Note that if you are triggering Redrum via MIDI or from the main se-
quencer, the sounds will react to velocity like any other audio de-
vice. The Dynamic values are there to offer velocity control when
using the built-in pattern sequencer.
Pattern Shuffle
Shuffle is a rhythmic feature, that gives the music a more or less pronounced
swing feel. It works by delaying all sixteenth notes that fall in between the
eighth notes.
You can activate or deactivate shuffle individually for each Redrum pattern
by clicking the Shuffle button on the device panel.
However, the amount of shuffle is set globally with the Pattern Shuffle control
on the transport panel.
