Using Redrum as a sound module

The drum sounds in Redrum can be played via MIDI notes. Each drum sound is triggered by a specific note number, starting at C1 (MIDI note number 36):

This allows you to play Redrum live from a MIDI keyboard or a MIDI percussion controller, or to record or draw drum notes in the main sequencer. If you like, you can combine pattern playback with additional drum notes, such as fills and variations. However:

If you want to use Redrum purely as a sound module (i.e. without pattern playback) you should make sure that the “Enable Pattern Section” button is deactivated (see “The Enable Pattern Section switch”), otherwise the Redrum pattern sequencer will start as soon as you start the main sequencer.
