Drumlab TUTORIAL

Experiment 2

How the heck do we make 'infinite sounds' with a $67 synth and less than 1mb of space?

1Roll a kit

Tap HOME to open the LAB view.
k-home
Hit OCT+. A kit rolls, and plays itself.
k-octup
Hit PLAY to roll the dice again. Keep going until you hear one you like. The keys play its sounds.
k-roll

2Preset kits

Turn SELECT for LAB-1 and the preset kits: TUBE, BOX, DUSTY, TOYBOX, ELECTRO, SPACE, POCKET, ACID, CHIP.
k-select

3Keep it

Hit OCT+ to keep the kit. OCT- puts the old one back.
k-keep
The beat from the first tutorial plays on it, if you hit PLAY in the PATTERN view.

4Tweak a sound

Press a key to pick a sound. Turn KNOB 2 to change its FREQ.
k-freq
Turn ALGORITHM for the next page.
k-algo
Hit SEL for the sound's other patch. Every sound is two, A and B.
k-sel
Hit PLAY to loop the sound while you tweak.
k-loop

4.5Ohh... now i get it!

So I 'roll a kit' like in step 1, and if it's close to what im thinking, I take it and edit it to make it my own. If it sucks I roll again. But I can always edit the crap out of anything and make it sound like I want! Got it!

5Hear it in the beat

Tap HOME twice to get back to PATTERN, then hit PLAY.
k-again
