Offsetting Lanes

To the right of the step display, you can find the Offset sliders for the lanes. These allow you to offset all drum steps on this lane.

Procedure

  1. Drag a slider to the left to make the drum steps start a little earlier and to the right to let them start later.

    For example, playing the bass drum or snare a little earlier allows you to add more urgency to the drums, while delaying these drum sounds results in a more relaxed drum pattern.

  2. Experiment with the settings to find out which fit best in your project.
    Note

    This function can also be used to correct faulty drum samples: If a drum sound has an attack that is slightly late, simply adjust the Offset slider for the lane.
