Let’s Groove!

Anyone who has worked with Samplers will be familiar with their quirks: you have to constantly process drum

loops with the time-stretch function so that they follow your song tempo correctly – this can take some time.

On top of this you can barely influence any of the loop’s instrumentation, never mind edit the grooves them-

selves.

How about triggering a drum kit with the Arpeggiator – is this possible? Yes, of course it is. The rhythms that

can be created this way at the touch of a key would be very difficult to create using the Drum Editor of your

sequencer package. And there are of course other advantages – you can use the CS1x’s effects and other

parameters on each sound individually, you can create new grooves with the Arpeggio styles, and these can

always be synched to your sequencer’s MIDI clock so they always run perfectly in time with your song!

So, call-up a drum kit set and turn on the Arpeggiator: sequences will spit out drum sounds like there is no

tomorrow! The uses that these drum sounds can be put to are incredible. A few tips:

EXAMPLE:

All our recommendations are based on Performance TP092. To begin with, leave the Arpeggiator set to “Techno-C” as

this is perhaps most suited to the spontaneous arranging of rhythm patterns, particularly when improvising with drum

sounds. Start out by triggering only single notes. You will hear special single bar patterns. A few examples follow:

F#1: Fill / Snare drum and Hihat

F2: Basic Groove / Bass and Snare drum, Toms

H2: Add Drum Sequence / Analogue Toms and Snare

D#3: Basic Groove / Bass drums and HandClap

F#3: Fill / typical for Hihats

So, how about using chords? Let’s try the following combinations: F2 – Ab2 – Bb2 – Eb3. Press each chord note one-

after-the-other and listen to the gradual build-up of a complete drum kit groove. We actually use this rhythm for the first

Arpeggiator Demo.

Trying out several variations should pay off too – different Arpeggio types, effects or other sound modules

can all give interesting results.

EXAMPLE:

Select the next drum kit (TP092) with an Arpeggio type of “DAHouse”. The first thing you will notice here is the rhythmic

use of the Delay effect. The sound is further processed by the pitch envelope. Using some subtle changes makes for a

more lively drum sequence. You could use these grooves for effective rhythm tracks. Now add a bass drum to the groove

(Four on the Floor) and bingo – you have an instant original Dance sequence! An alternative to this can be found in the

next memory. Here, the Arpeggio type “PulseLine” is put to work with a clichéd Flanger effect.
