Let's have a look at some of the additional features that you can make use of
when using drum racks on Push.
I have a drum rack with 16 different percussive sounds
and a basic rhythm playing
and what I'd like to do is show you some of the advanced features
that you can use when playing drums.
The first thing I'd like to do is to change the color of some of the pads.
This is really helpful because it helps you to remember what type of percussive sounds
you have in each of the pads.
I'll hold the 'shift' button and select a pad to change the color.
Once I've changed the color of that particular pad,
you can also see that the notes in the step-sequencer
also take on the same color.
If I wish to customize my current drum rack, I can also swap out the sounds in each of the pads.
I have a percussive sound here
that I'd like to remove.
I'll simply hold down the delete button and tap that pad
to delete that particular sound.
I'd like to replace this empty pad now with a new sample.
So now having selected the Simpler of that empty pad
I'll press 'browse'
and search for a new sample to load into the empty pad space.
Now let's have a look at 16 velocities.
I have some rim shots here.
And I'd like to play some ghost notes
and make the sound a little bit more dynamic.
I'll press the 'layout' button to enter the 16 velocities.
Now I can play my rim shot sound with 16 different velocities of volume.
So I'm going to record some additional rim shot sounds.
To do this, I'll simply press the 'record' button
and wait for the count-in.
Another way I can make use of the 16 velocities
is using the 'repeat' button.
I'll hold down the 'select' button to select my hi-hat sound without actually hearing it.
And toggle on the 'repeat'.
Now I can play the hi-hat notes with different velocities.
I can also use the 16 velocities to input notes into the step-sequencer.
So again, using the hi-hats, I'm going to hold down the 'select' button
and select a particular velocity from the 16 velocities
and then enter those notes into the step-sequencer.
If i wish to change the velocities of the current notes that I've put into the step-sequencer
I can also hold down the notes and the choose the velocity from the 16-velocity levels
which I want to actually use.
