1. Instrument controls (see 2.4.1)
2. Instrument select buttons (see 2.4.2)
3. Pads (see 2.4.3)
2.4.1 Instrument controls
Each instrument has its own set of sound-sculpting parameters. The lines between the
instruments indicate which knobs belong to which instrument. Each instrument and its
knobs are called an instrument channel.
Some instrument channels are shared by two instruments. For example, the Maracas
and the Tambourine instruments are both found within the Maracas/Tamb channel. This
is known as a shared channel.
2.4.2 Instrument select buttons
These buttons toggle between the instruments in a shared channel. Each instrument in a
shared channel can be recorded independently into a pattern.
However, as a general rule the instruments share the instrument controls. For example,
if you change the tuning on the Tom Hi instrument the tuning will also change for the Hi
Conga.
2.4.3 Pads
The 12 velocity-sensitive pads are used to input note data into a pattern. But they will
always trigger their instruments whether DrumBrute is running or not.
The movements of the instrument controls are not recorded as part of a pattern.
