User Manual

54 ARTURIA – DrumBrute – USER’S MANUAL
10 USING MIDI CONTROL CENTER
The built-in MIDI Control Center manual has general descriptions of the features that are
common to all Arturia products. To learn how to access the manual, see section 9.5.
This chapter will cover only the MIDI Control Center features that are unique to
DrumBrute.
10.1 The Sync option
As mentioned in section 9.4, clicking the Sync button is a quick way to back up your
DrumBrute patterns. It also allows you to do other things we’ll cover later in this
chapter.
However, there are some things you can do even if you don’t click the Sync button.
Here’s a quick overview of the different states:
10.1.1 Sync operations
The MIDI Control Center (MCC) does the following when you click the Sync button:
• It automatically makes a backup copy of the internal DrumBrute patterns. This is
known as a Template.
• It updates the Device Settings window with the settings from the DrumBrute.
These must be saved using the Device Settings Export button (see section 10.5).
• It allows live editing of patterns from within the MCC window. This is an
extremely useful feature, which we’ll cover in section 10.7.4.
10.1.2 Non-sync operations
When the MIDI Control Center and DrumBrute are not synced there are plenty of
features available. For example, you are able to:
• drag and drop one of the patterns in the Project Browser to one of the Bank tabs
• send a single pattern to the DrumBrute internal memory
• use the Store To and Recall From buttons to transmit an entire set of 64 patterns
If the MCC and DrumBrute are synced, every time you click on a Template in the
Project Browser window it will be sent to the DrumBrute internal memory. Any
changes you have made from the DrumBrute front panel will be lost.
