User Manual

ARTURIA – DrumBrute – USER’S MANUAL 13
The Transport buttons control the DrumBrute sequencer as well as external MIDI devices
using standard MIDI messages or MIDI Machine Control (MMC). Use the MIDI Control
Center software to make any necessary changes.
The Record button is used to create songs and patterns, and the Stop button will cancel
recording or playback.
The Play button doubles as a Pause/Continue button, which allows you to pause a
sequence in mid-stream, tweak the sound of an instrument, and then press Play again to
resume recording or playback. You can choose to have the Play button work in
Pause/Restart mode as well. Use the MIDI Control Center to choose the PAUSE option.
2.2.4 Synchronization
There are four Sync options which are accessed by pressing the Sync button repeatedly.
These determine whether DrumBrute will be the master or the slave in a multi-device
setup.
For descriptions of the sync features see chapter 8.
2.2.5 DrumBrute modes
These five buttons determine the operational mode of the DrumBrute: Song, Bank, or
Pattern mode. The Step and Accent buttons are used to edit a Pattern.
Everything you need to know about creating a pattern is in chapter 5. To learn how to
build a song, see chapter 4.
2.2.6 Step buttons
Record mode allows both quantized and unquantized recording. See section 5.1.3
for more information.
