Questions

How do I read these patterns?

Each row is one sound and each square is a sixteenth note. Four squares make one beat, sixteen make one bar. A lit square is a hit. The numbers above the grid on each pattern page mark the four beats.

Can I use these patterns in my own tracks?

Yes. A drum pattern on its own is free to use. The samples in the drum machine are from RAW POWER; buy the pack to use the sounds themselves in a release.

How do I get a pattern into my DAW?

Press play to hear it here, open it in the drum machine to change it, then program the same steps in your DAW's step sequencer or piano roll, one sound per row.
