About the “Edit Steps” Switch
If you set the pattern length to more than 16 steps, the pattern steps following after the 16th won’t be visible, al-
though they will play back. To view and be able to edit the next 16 steps, you have to set the Edit Steps switch to 17-
32. To see and edit steps beyond 32 you set the switch to 33-48, and so on.
Setting pattern resolution
Redrum always follows the tempo setting on the transport panel, but you can also make Redrum play in different
“resolutions” in relation to the tempo setting. Changing the Resolution setting changes the length of each step, and
thereby the “speed” of the pattern.
Step dynamics
When you enter step notes for a drum sound, you can set the velocity value for each step to one of three values:
Hard, Medium or Soft. This is done by setting the Dynamic switch before entering the note.
The color of the step buttons reflect the dynamics for each step. Soft notes are light yellow, Medium notes are orange and Hard
are red.
D When the Medium value is selected, you can enter Hard notes by holding down [Shift] and clicking.
In the same way, you can enter Soft notes by holding down [Option] (Mac) or [Alt] (Windows) and clicking. Note
that this doesn’t change the Dynamic setting on the device panel - it only affects the notes you enter.
D When you use different dynamics, the resulting difference in the sound (loudness, pitch, etc.), is governed by
the “VEL” knob settings for each drum channel (see “Redrum parameters”).
If no velocity amount is set for a drum channel, it will play back the same, regardless of the Dynamic setting.
D To change the dynamics for an already programmed step, set the switch to the dynamic value you wish to
change it to and click on the step.
! Note that if you are triggering Redrum via MIDI or from the main sequencer, the sounds will react to velocity
like any other audio device. The Dynamic values are there to offer velocity control when using the built-in pat-
tern sequencer.
