4.3 Creating a Song
The process of creating a song is very straightforward. Here is how to do it:
• Press the Song button to enter Song mode.
• Choose which song you want to create by pressing one of the Step buttons.
• Press the Record button to enter Song writing mode. The Ptrn and Record buttons
will blink.
• Press the Step buttons one after the other to choose their playback order. You
can press the same step button multiple times to repeat that pattern.
• You can use patterns from other banks by pressing the bank button and choosing
one (A-D). Then press Ptrn to select patterns within the new bank.
• You can enter up to 16 patterns, including the ones you repeated.
• When you have finished building your song, press the Record button to drop out
of Song writing mode.
Press the Play button and your song will start.
4.4 Saving a Song
To exit Song writing mode, press the Record button a second time. It will go dark, which
means you have exited Song writing mode. Press the Save button + the Song button to
store your new song.
4.5 Erasing a Song
If you want to construct a new version of an existing song, here’s what to do:
• Press the Erase button, the Song, Bank, Ptrn, and pads will blink.
• Press the Song button
• Choose the song to be erased by pressing one of the Step buttons.
Now you can begin creating a new song (see section 4.3).
The MIDI Control Center allows you to specify whether the new pattern should
load instantly or wait until after DrumBrute reaches the end of its current pattern.
