REDRUM DRUM COMPUTER
(RECORD+REASON)
731
D Raising the S1 knob for a drum sound channel will send the sound to the first send effect connected to the
mixer.
Similarly, the S2 knob governs the send level to the second send effect in the mixer.
D Note that there must be send effects connected to the AUX Sends and Returns in the mixer for this to work.
D Also note that if Redrum is soloed in the Mixer the effect sends will be muted.
D Another way to add independent effects to drum sounds is to use the independent drum outputs.
See “Connections”.
Pan
Sets the Pan (stereo position) for the channel.
D If the LED above the Pan control is lit, the sound uses a stereo sample.
In that case, the Pan control serves as a stereo balance control.
Level and Velocity
The Level knob sets the volume for the channel. However, the volume can also be affected by velocity (as set with the
Dynamic value, or as played via MIDI). How much the volume should be affected by velocity is set with the “Vel” knob.
D If the Vel knob is set to a positive value, the volume will become louder with increasing velocity values.
The higher the Vel value, the larger the difference in volume between low and high velocity values.
D A negative value inverts this relationship, so that the volume decreases with higher velocity values.
D If the Vel knob is set to zero (middle position), the sound will play at a constant volume, regardless of the ve-
locity.
When Vel is set to zero, the LED above the knob goes dark.
Length and the Decay/Gate switch
The Length knob determines the length of the drum sound, but the result depends on the setting of the Decay/Gate
switch:
D In Decay mode (switch down), the sound will decay (gradually fade out) after being triggered. The decay time is
determined by the Length setting.
In this mode, it doesn’t matter for how long a drum note is held (if played back from the main sequencer or via
MIDI) - the sound will play the same length for short notes as for long notes. This is the traditional “drum machine”
mode.
