Let's use the Drum mode to sequence a drum pattern using the Step Sequencer.
1. Select Track 2 – Top Loop and add a new empty clip as described above.
2. Make sure the clip you are recording into is playing, otherwise you won't hear the pattern you are creating.
3. Press Menu and then tap Step Sequencer on the display.
4. Press the Step Seq button until Drum is shown on the display. The pads will now be in Drum mode.
5. Select the bass drum sound by pressing its pad (A01).
Tip: Press and hold the Clip Select button and then press a pad to select it without sounding the sample.
6. Use the top four rows of clip launch pads to sequence a simple bass drum pattern.
You can also change portion of the clip you are viewing and editing by pressing and holding the Step Seq button
and using the top row(s) of clip launch pads. The number of pages available depends on the selected step size and
the number of bars in the clip.
7. Next, select a snare drum sound (A02) and sequence a pattern.
8. Finally, select a hi-hat sound (A03) and sequence a pattern. Try using the velocity pads to vary the velocity of the hi-
hat sounds to make the clip sound more realistic.
