ARTURIA – DrumBrute – USER’S MANUAL 41
For example, let’s lengthen a 16-step pattern to 32 steps.
Here’s what to do:
• Select a 16-step pattern.
• Hold the Last Step button.
• Press the >> button once. A white LED will appear above the number 32.
• Press Step button 16 (technically it’s button 32 now). It will turn blue.
• Release the Last Step button. Step 32 has now been defined as the last step in
the pattern.
Now press << and >> at the same time to enter Pattern Follow mode (the buttons
should be lit).
Next, press Play. You should see the Step buttons cycling through two sets of 16 steps,
one with data and one without.
You should also see the Step Group LEDs changing every 16 steps:
• Steps 1-16: Red LED over #16, White LED over #32
• Steps 17-32: dark LED over #16, Pink LED over #32 (White + Red)
The Red LED indicates the current Step Group within the pattern. The White LED means
that the last step in the pattern is in that Step Group.
If you decide you want more than 32 steps for this pattern, hold the Last Step button
and press >> until the White LED is over the correct Step Group number. Then press the
appropriate Step button and you’re ready to create.
5.2.9.3 Editing steps 17-32
If you want to focus on steps 17-32 while editing, here’s what to do:
• Disable Pattern Follow mode (turn off the << >> buttons).
• Press >> once to move the Red LED over #32.
The Step buttons now show the status of steps 17-32. You can play the pattern while
editing, if you want; it will play all 32 steps, but the Step buttons will stay focused on
steps 17-32.
Simply edit the steps as desired with the Step buttons, or play them on the pads. When
you’re finished you can re-enter Pattern Follow mode with the << >> buttons if you like.
5.3 Save the Pattern!
It’s a good idea to save your patterns often while you are working on them.
To save the current pattern, hold the Save button and the press the Ptrn button. Both
buttons will flash quickly to indicate that your pattern has been saved to the internal
memory.
If you switch between banks you will lose any edits you have made to the patterns
within the original bank. This will also happen if you switch to Song mode.
