4. PATTERN MODE
The Patterns are the groove-making heart of the DrumBrute Impact. The Songs point to
them, the Banks hold them, but the Patterns contain the music.
4.1. Pattern Creation
4.1.1. Control the tempo
The Rate/Fine encoder controls the Tempo value, which is stored per pattern. It’s also
possible to override the per-pattern settings with a Global tempo by holding the Shift button
and pressing Step button 15. This parameter is called Global BPM, and it is also available in
the MIDI Control Center (see
4.1.1.1. Fine-tuning the Tempo
If you want to change the tempo in increments smaller than 1 bpm (to 100.33 bpm, for
example), hold the Shift button and turn the Rate/Fine encoder clockwise. Once you’ve
reached the desired value between .00 and .99, release the Shift button.
To reset the fine-tune value to zeroes, turn the Rate/Fine encoder without holding the Shift
button.
4.1.1.2. Tap tempo
You can set the tempo of your Song using the Tap Tempo button. All you have to do is tap
the button at the desired rate and the tempo will change to match your rhythm.
You can set the number of taps it takes to set the Tempo using the MIDI Control Center.
♪
: Tap tempo will not function when the Impact is set to one of the external sync sources.
4.1.2. Time Division
Depending on the current setting, this parameter can be a quick way to double the playback
rate of your pattern or cut it in half. Triplet options are available, too.
To set the time division, press and hold the Shift button and then press the Step button that
corresponds to the timing you want:
• Eighth notes (1/8)
• Eighth note triplets (1/8T)
• Sixteenth notes (1/16)
• Sixteenth note triplets (1/16T)
• Thirty-second notes (1/32)
The default setting is 1/16.
