5.4.3.11. Making the Most of Drum Mode
Many of the special Shift functions you would normally apply to a melodic and/or harmonic
sequence can also be applied to Drum sequences, with surprising results.
Try some of these:
'Shift' + Invert will create a mirror image of the events (triggers) in the current Drum track.
The last notes become the first and vice versa. Press 'Shift' + Invert once more to restore the
natural order of things (:-)).
♪: 'Shift' + Invert will only invert the currently selected Drum track.
It does not stop there: you can shift the currently selected looping Drum sequence to the left
or right. To shift to the right, hold down 'Shift' and press Nudge>. An event (trigger) in the first
position of the loop will move to the second position; an event (trigger) in the last position
will wrap around to the first position.
♪: Remember to save the Pattern after making edits!
♪: The project-level swing percentage is not saved with Scenes, Sequences or Patterns, but it is saved
with each Project.
!: To explore uncharted territory, set the drum MIDI channel number to something other than 10 and
thus use the 24 Drum tracks to trigger fixed MIDI notes rhythmically.
!: As explained in the sequencer section above, there's a simple way to create variety in your
patterns, especially if your patterns are 32 steps or longer. It's called the Step Skip feature: hold down
a step button then press the buttons (16, 32, 48 or 64) of pages in which you do not want the KeyStep
Pro to play that step. For example, if you have identical Patterns in each of the four pages, hold down
step buttons 8 and 16, and press the 32 and 64 buttons. The 8th and 16th steps will not play in those step
ranges. This works for all Drum Patterns.
