I've enclosed 10 drum patterns, this is equal to 160 drum
loop/sequences for your RM1x, so plenty to get your tracks moving.
To use these simply copy them onto a floppy and load them into
your user patterns. (do not copy direct to a floppy though as there is an
included HTML instruction file within the zip should anyone like to add these
free patterns to their web site (or for anyone whos new to using the RM1x).
Once loaded into your RM1x, you should then (while listening to the looped
sequences) adjust the tempo until your happy and also change the Drum Kit if
desired (most patterns have been programmed using the standard drum kit, but
they all sound great with other kits too....so find one that suits the type of
track your looking to work on)
Once you have a good sounding loop, you can then adjust the
harmonize settings (on both knobs) for very interesting FX, you can also change
the pitch (but I would only recommend that you slightly change the pitch, unless
you are aiming for something different) Also try using the other knobs, as you
can achieve some very cool sounding loops that put the original loop to
shame.
Once you have something thats looping nicely then you can
either copy this sequence to another user location for you to continue working
on or you can work on the loops where they already are (remember, you cant
destroy the originals because they will be saved on disk, so go mental with the
loops, thats what they are there for!)
For instance trying adding a few notes from a pad
voice.......you'll find a track already beginning to take shape, then adding a
melody is easy.....or try adding a bassline (remember to adjust fx, as the
bassline might sound dry)
All loops have been programmed using one track, so there are
another 15 tracks to build on.
just remember, drum loops are the easiest part of programming
tracks (at least for me anyway) and they do get boring programming them, so now
I've helped you with the boring aspects of building a tune, get with the good
parts and start building upon them.
These loops are free........I have many many more. I
programmed and catalogued these shortly after buying the RM1x, so that I could
just load in a loop and start building a tune without having to fuck
about........they do give your mental blocks a huge boost.
The other patterns that I've programmed will not be available
however. Why should I do all the hard work!!
however I am thinking about creating an RM1x site devoted to
drum loops, so that you can load them and play instantly, but I might
sell the other volumes. Although they will be set in specific genres etc.,
as these free patterns have just been thrown onto a disk without any
thought to how they should be laid out next to each other. The site will
also contain this free volume that is included in this email.
If you are interested in buying these other
volumes then let me know.
Anyway, stop reading this, load them into your RM1x now and
get grooving.
have fun.
regards,
Miko.
THESE LOOPS MAY BE ADDED TO YOUR WEB SITE OR
DISTRIBUTED FOR FREE. THESE LOOPS MUST NOT BE SOLD IN ANY
FORM. IF YOU USE THESE LOOPS THEN I'D APPRECIATE YOU SEND ME A COPY OF THE TRACK
THAT THEY ARE IN OR LET ME KNOW VIA EMAIL THAT YOU HAVE USED
THEM.
