2.1.3. Set the tempo
When Sync is set to Internal, the tempo range of DrumBrute is 30-300 beats per minute
(bpm).
There are three ways to set the tempo for your pattern:
• Turn the Rate/Fine encoder.
• Use the Tap Tempo button.
• For fine tempo adjustment, hold Shift and then turn the Rate/Fine encoder.
Each pattern can have its own tempo, but you can make DrumBrute use the same tempo
for all patterns and songs. To do this, hold the Shift button and press Step button 15 (Global
BPM). When Step button 15 is lit blue, Global BPM is active.
The MIDI Control Center allows you to specify all features related to tempo and the
metronome. See section [p.70] for details.
If the DrumBrute Sync parameter is set to something other than Internal clock then you
must set the tempo on the master device. For information about all of the Sync settings, see
section [p.51].

Note: when external synced it is not guaranteed that the Drumbrute will work with tempi out of the
range 30-300 BPM
2.1.4. Enable the metronome
To enable the metronome, press the On button. You will hear a click only when DrumBrute
is running. Its output level is controlled with the Metro Volume knob.
The timing value of the metronome may be changed from the front panel. To do so, hold
the On button and select a value between 1/8 and 1/32. You will see the selected button turn
blue.
Note that it is also possible to “deselect” whichever timing value button is lit. This will result
in a 1/4 note click while the unit is running.
There is an additional 1/4T metronome timing value available using the MIDI Control Center.
For a description of the audio output options for the Metronome see section [p.17].
