3. Make sure that the “Enable Pattern Section” and the “Pattern” buttons are activated (lit).
4. Press the “Run” button.
There will be no sound, as no pattern steps have been recorded yet. But as you can see, the LEDs over the Step
button light up consecutively, moving from left to right, and then starts over. Each Step button represents one
“step” in the Pattern.
5. Select a Redrum channel, by clicking the “Select” button at the bottom of the channel.
The button lights up, indicating that this channel and the drum sound it contains is selected.
6. While in Run mode, press Step button 1, so that it lights up.
The selected sound will now play every time Step 1 is “passed over”.
7. Clicking other Step buttons so they light up will play back the selected sound as the sequencer passes those
steps.
Clicking on a selected (lit) step button a second time removes the sound from that step and the button goes dark
again. You can click and drag to add or remove steps quickly.
8. Select another Redrum channel to program steps for that sound.
Selecting a new sound or channel also removes the visual indications (static lit buttons) of step entries for the pre-
viously selected sound. The step buttons always show step entries for the currently selected sound.
9. Continue switching between sounds, and programming steps to build your pattern.
Note that you can erase or add step entries even if Run mode isn’t activated.
Setting pattern length
You may want to make settings for Pattern length, i.e the number of steps the pattern should play before repeating:
D Use the “Steps” spin controls to set the number of steps you wish the pattern to play.
The range is 1 to 64. You can always extend the number of steps at a later stage, as this will merely add empty
steps at the end of the original pattern. You could also make it shorter, but that would (obviously) mean that the
steps “outside” the new length won’t be heard. These steps aren’t erased though; if you raise the Steps value
again, the steps will be played back again.
