Man, once you get the hang of it..

March 11, 2020 06:23AM
..and it does take a little bit of doing, you'll be cranking that stuff out like a pro.. Believe it or not, in college, in speech class, one of my three speeches, was how to program a drum machine.. seriously.. I had poster boards with what you see in the little programming window.. and did each instrument one by one, letting the class hear it looping over and over.. All I programmed for them was the beginning beat of "Living After Midnight" by Judas Priest.. very, very easy..

Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.. Really, the only thing you hafta know is that initially your Pattern, or measure, is going to be divided into 16 parts and then you just put whatever drum in whatever time slot you need to make the rhythm you want.. I just drew this up for ya.. this SHOULD be the diagram for the beginning beat of Living After Midnight by Priest.. Jimmy, if its jacked up, let me know.. I'm going by memory and hopefully didn't screw up the timing..





Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..

  Steve will know this... but I don't...

JamesJM125March 10, 2020 07:17AM

  Yeah, you can definitely..

sstrams109March 10, 2020 07:24AM

  So it has..

sstrams124March 10, 2020 07:53AM

  Well, you don't have to stop....

JamesJM141March 10, 2020 08:13AM

  Sounds weird...

sstrams247March 10, 2020 08:40AM

  My drum machine has 10 billion functions...

JamesJM121March 10, 2020 08:43AM

  I like to hit things...

sstrams125March 10, 2020 08:52AM

  Here's what I really want to know...

Aries138March 10, 2020 02:25PM

  That was a good shot..

sstrams115March 10, 2020 02:37PM

  LOL....

JamesJM132March 10, 2020 02:43PM

  ..but it makes perfect sense, Jimmy..

sstrams127March 10, 2020 02:55PM

  I think you're right....

JamesJM173March 10, 2020 03:15PM

  That's pretty cool..

sstrams126March 11, 2020 02:38AM

  Just to be clear...

JamesJM117March 11, 2020 05:19AM

  Here's why that happens

Aries139March 11, 2020 05:29AM

  That's as good of an explanation as any other...

JamesJM117March 11, 2020 05:46AM

  Hmm.. interesting..

sstrams116March 11, 2020 05:48AM

  Steve the Science Guy....

JamesJM151March 11, 2020 05:52AM

  That seems plausible, too... (nm)

Aries140March 11, 2020 05:55AM

  I like the dead muscian theory..

sstrams115March 11, 2020 06:24AM

JamesJM159March 10, 2020 03:56PM

  Re: I can do that...

Aries266March 10, 2020 04:02PM

JamesJM123March 11, 2020 06:42AM

  Cool...

sstrams129March 11, 2020 06:58AM

  Yeah, you're dead on...

JamesJM142March 11, 2020 07:05AM

  You added a bass beat?

sstrams117March 11, 2020 07:11AM

  No, I added a bass beat....

JamesJM125March 11, 2020 07:17AM

  I gotcha..

sstrams120March 11, 2020 07:31AM

  First time I ever saw a drum machine in use..

sstrams113March 11, 2020 02:49AM

  More likely is that....

JamesJM124March 11, 2020 05:43AM

  Yeah, singing and playing is trippin'..

sstrams124March 11, 2020 06:27AM

  Hey, yeah, that's my method...

JamesJM124March 11, 2020 06:58AM

  Harmonies are fun..

sstrams256March 11, 2020 07:16AM

  Some time back I could sing somewhat well...

JamesJM154March 11, 2020 07:26AM

  Yeah it kinda sucks that...

sstrams126March 11, 2020 07:34AM

  I've been using a drum machine..

sstrams124March 10, 2020 03:01AM

  Re: Yeah, you'll definitely..

sstrams189March 10, 2020 03:10AM

sstrams110March 11, 2020 10:35AM

  Re: I posted a pic..

Aries135March 11, 2020 11:05AM

  That's an easy one..

sstrams121March 11, 2020 11:16AM

  Correct me if I'm wrong....

JamesJM172March 11, 2020 12:38PM

  Yes you can..

sstrams137March 11, 2020 12:43PM

  Re: Correct me if I'm wrong....

Aries134March 11, 2020 12:45PM

  You got it then, you're good to go...

JamesJM147March 11, 2020 12:52PM

  Yeah, that's what I don't know..

sstrams128March 11, 2020 12:56PM

  Re: Yeah, that's what I don't know..

Aries255March 11, 2020 12:59PM

  Here is one that's just a couple of minutes...

Aries135March 11, 2020 01:25PM

  What he means..

sstrams117March 11, 2020 12:54PM

  Out of curiosity...
