INTRODUCTION TO THE SR18 Welcome to the SR18 Professional Drum Machine. The SR18 allows you to quickly and easily program drum, percussion and bass sounds into rhythm Patterns and to turn these Patterns into Songs. Let’s begin with a quick explanation of some of the key elements: PATTERNS VS. SONGS PATTERNS – When recording with a drum machine, it's often easier to divide a song into shorter individual Patterns and work on these rather than record an entire song. A typica

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTROLS Now that we have introduced you to the infrastructure of the SR18, let’s dive in and take a closer look at some of the controls. GENERAL CONTROLS: 1. LCD – The display helps you keep track of system parameters and settings as you use the SR18. 2. PADS – The 12 pads are used to trigger sounds on the SR18. The pads can address 3 different types of sounds: drums, percussion and bass. To select which sounds are controlled by the pads, press one of the t

MODE BUTTONS: 17. PATTERN / SONG – This button toggles between the two different modes on the SR18. In Pattern Mode, you can play, record and edit individual patterns. Patterns are short (i.e. 8-beat, 16-beat, etc) rhythm sequences which are assembled together to create Songs. A Song is a sequence of Patterns. In Song Mode, you can perform or program your Patterns to create a Song. The currently-selected mode will be indicated on the display. 18. PRESET / USER – This button toggle

STEP 9 You will hear a metronome sound and the top line of the screen will display the Pattern’s current Beat Number. Play the pads to the beat. As the Pattern loops, you can add more layers until you are satisfied. Note that the Quantization and Swing settings will affect how your pattern is recorded.

LOADING AND CREATING DRUM SETS The SR18 has 100 Preset and 100 Editable Drum Sets (groups of sounds). After pressing the DRUM SET button, you can use the INC / DEC buttons, the VALUE dial, or the number buttons to select a different set (each set can have its own sounds, tuning, volume, panning, etc). You may also edit individual pad sounds within each kit. In addition, you may also choose different Bass sounds for each kit. STEP 1 Press the DRUM SET button to bring up the D

STEP 7 Note that Drums and Percussion sounds are grouped in each Drum Set. This means that changing the drum sounds to a different set on page 1 of the Drum Set menu will cause the Percussion sounds to change as well (although individual pad sounds may be replaced freely once a Drum Set has been loaded). You can, however, independently choose a different set of Bass sounds for the selected set. Press the BASS button while on page 1 of Drum Set Mode (if you have navigated to o

CREATING AND ERASING SONGS The SR18 can remember the order in which you selected Patterns, which variations were selected, and when you selected fills. Recording this information in SR18’s Song Mode creates a complete Song. Begin with the SR18 stopped. STEP 1 Select Song Mode by pressing the PATTERN / SONG button so the display says SONG. STEP 2 The display should say EMPTY SONG. If not, press the INC / DEC buttons (or use the VALUE dial) to select an empty song.

STEP 6 Once you have finished creating the sequence of Patterns for your Song, press the STOP button to stop the recording. STEP 7 You will see the screen displayed on the right. The top line will indicate the last step of the Song (STEP 48 in this example) and the bottom line will say END. To move between the steps, use the PAGE UP / DOWN buttons. Each step of the sequence will show the Pattern associated with it. If you have made any errors, you can correct them by

FOOTSWITCH CONTROL Now that we have the basics down, let's investigate some live performance options using footswitch control. This is particularly useful if you're playing along with Patterns and Songs on the pads and can't use your hands to punch buttons. There are two jacks for footswitches (Start/Stop and Count/A/B/Fill). Always plug these footswitches in before turning on power. Either normally open or normally closed types (the two most common footswitch types) can be us
