48 ARTURIA – DrumBrute – USER’S MANUAL
But here’s a visual representation of how they would sound during the first bar:
And during the second bar:
The second loop, Kick 2, is highlighted as a rhythmic reference. It plays on quarter notes
1, 2, 3, and 4, and the Rim will play on beat 1 every time.
But the other instruments will continue their shorter loops: Kick 1 will play its cycle of 3,
the snare a cycle of 5, and the clap a cycle of 6. They will play at different times in
relationship to each other for quite a while.
In this example it will be 360 bars of 4/4 time before the first bar is heard again!
To toggle Polyrhythm on and off, hold the Shift button and press Step button 16.
