26 ARTURIA – DrumBrute – USER’S MANUAL
3.2.4.1 Loop length
The length of the loop is determined by the placement of your finger on the strip, with
1/4 being the largest loop and 1/32 being the smallest. Changing the location of your
finger changes the size of the loop.
3.2.4.2 Loop start point
The start point of the loop is based on when you touch the strip during playback. You
can jump to a different loop position by pressing one of the Step buttons while holding
your finger on the strip.
3.2.5 Pause or Restart
The MIDI Control Center allows you to specify the behavior of the Play/Pause button.
That setting is called Pause mode.
You’ll want to try both options to see which you prefer: one will restart the pattern from
the beginning every other time you press the Play button, and the other will pause and
resume playback of the pattern from the current position.
See section 10.9.2.12 to learn more about these MIDI Control Center settings.
3.3 All Notes Off
It’s possible for a MIDI message to be interrupted for some reason. This can result in a
stuck or ‘hanging’ note on the target device.
If this happens, just press the Stop button quickly three times in a row. It will then send
an All Notes Off command over MIDI.
The Looper strip can be used while recording a pattern to enter drum rolls for
individual instruments. See section 5.1.5.
