Using patches
When you create a new Redrum device it is loaded with a default kit. If you like you can program a pattern and play
back using the default kit - or you can load another Redrum patch (or create one from scratch, by loading individual
drum samples). A Redrum patch contains settings for the ten drum sound channels, complete with file references to
the drum samples used.
! Redrum patterns are not part of the patch! If you want to save Redrum patches complete with patterns, create
a Combinator containing the Redrum and save the Combi patch.
Loading a patch
To load a patch, use one of the following methods:
D Use the browser to locate and open the desired patch.
To open the browser, select “Browse Redrum Patches” from the Edit menu or device context menu, or click the
folder button in the patch section on the device panel.
D Once you have selected a patch, you can step between all the patches in the same folder by using the arrow
buttons next to the patch name display.
D If you click on the patch name display on the device panel, a pop-up menu will appear, listing all patches in the
current folder.
This allows you to quickly select another patch in the same folder, without having to step through each one in turn.
Checking the sounds in a patch
There are two ways you can listen to the sounds in a patch without programming a pattern:
D By clicking the Trigger (arrow) button at the top of each drum sound channel.
D By playing the keys C1 to A1 on your MIDI keyboard.
C1 plays drum sound channel 1 and so on. See also “Using Redrum as a sound module”.
Both these methods play back the drum sample for the corresponding drum sound channel, with all settings for the
sound applied.
Creating a new patch
To create a patch of your own (or modify an existing patch), you use the following basic steps:
