Pad Editor

The pad editor allows to edit any rhythm in a visual way.

Given that we can assign any sound to any track, the typical allocation corresponds to:

  • Line 1: Hi Hat / Ride Cymbal
  • Line 2: Snare Drum
  • Line 3: Bass Drum

Press Full Mode to show two additional tracks for toms or other instruments.

  • Line 4: Tom 1
  • Line 5: Tom 2

The save button turns enabled when the current rhythms is not included in the library.

Rename and Delete buttons are enabled when the current rhythms is an saved user rhythm.

New Groove

Create a rhythm from scratch pressing "New Groove" button.

Two popups will appear, asking for beats and subdivisions.

Choose 4 beats and 4 subs for a typical 4/4 bar. For shuffle/swinging rhythms choose 4 beats, 3 subs.


Change Subdivisions

Rock Drum Machine allows to set different subdivisions for each beat in a groove.

Long press in the beat until a red rectangle appears and drag the finger up ( substract notes ) or down (add notes).

This way you can create advanced rhythms with different subdivisions and infinite possibilities.
