	Drum machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most modern drum machines are sequencers with a synthesizer, sampler, and/or a sample playback (rompler) component that is tailored to reproduce the sounds of drums and other traditional percussion instruments.
		Drum machines can either be programmed in real time (the user hears a metronome and plays beats in time with the metronome) or in step time, where the user specifies the precise moment in time on which a note will sound.
		By the year 2000, standalone drum machines became much less common, being partly supplanted by general-purpose hardware samplers controlled by sequencers (built-in or external), software-based sequencing and sampling, and music workstations with integrated sequencing and drum sounds.

		Early drum machines were referred to as "rhythm machines" because they only played preprogrammed rhythms such as (additional info and facts about mambo) mambo, (A ballroom dance of Latin-American origin) tango, etc. The first rhythm machines were included in organs, in the late 1960s.
		Because these early drum machines came out before the introduction of (The south of France) MIDI in 1983, they used a variety of methods of having their rhythms synchronized to other electronic devices.
		By the year 2000, stand-alone drum machines became much less common, being partly supplanted by general-purpose hardware samplers controlled by sequencers (built-in or external), software-based sequencing and sampling, and (additional info and facts about music workstation) music workstations with integrated sequencing and drum sounds.

		For an Alesis drum machine the open hat occurs on 1+48 (step 48 of the 1st quarter note), 2+48 (step 48 of the 2nd quarter note), 3+48 (step 48 of the 3rd quarter note), and 4+48 (step 48 of the 4th quarter note).
		For Cakewalk the hat is programmed at 1+60 (step 60 of the 1st quarter note), 2+60 (step 60 of the 2nd quarter note), 3+60 (step 60 of the 3rd quarter note), 4+60 (step 60 of the 4th quarter note).

		Drum machines are sequencers with a synthesizer component that is tailored to the MIDI note numbers specified for drums.
		The original drum machines were referred to as rhythm machines because they only played preprogrammed rhythms such as mambo, tango, etc. About 1980 user-programmable drum machines appeared, allowing musicians to create any rhythm they wanted.
		Drum machines are typically programmed by specifying which sixteenth notes of a bar a given drum will sound on.

		It is possible to get authentic, live sounding drum tracks from a keyboard, sound module or drum machine that may fool the ear into thinking you have a real drummer.
		Listening to drum programs with every note pegged to 127 (velocity values range from 0-127 with 127 being the strongest) has about as much groove as listening to the soundtrack from PONG on an Atari 2600 video game system.
		Another common drum machine error is to have a steady stream of 8th notes going on the closed hat during a roll or fill that uses the toms (unless your drummer is an octopus, this would be technically impossible to pull off!).

	Drum Machine
		The drum machine is the current form of the rhythm machine that Wurlitzer Sideman introduced in 1959.
		But the first programmable Roland CR-78 drum machines arrived with pre-programmed rhythms and 4 voice polyphony in 1979, and since then drum sets for many have become a thing of the past.
		While drums have keys to control and trigger various drum sounds, these days the new advanced models of machines can actually be MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) controlled when hooked to a computer and that's why standalone machines have become outdated.

		Drum machine sequencing is oriented toward creating small blocks of measures called patterns.
		Program operations are carried out from a main workscreen divided into four areas: pattern grid, pattern selector box, song display and playback controls.
		As drum machines and other instruments do not follow any standard for relating drum sound to MIDI note, you can have separate setup files for each MIDI instrument configuration used.

		If you are new to programming a pattern based drum machine (or drum sequences in general) and not a drummer, odds are pretty good that you will lean towards turning the music into noise rather than enhancing it.
		Some Drum machines work differently than the Roland models (The Alesis SR 16 works very differently, but can still use these sequences), as do Software Sequencer programs that can be used to loop a few measures.
		Some MIDI Drum machines support a full range of MIDI Velocities (volume level at which an individual note is played), others simply understand a limited range of velocities and handle them as they see fit.

		These old machines sometimes known as nickleodeons (sometimes as music cabinets and an assortment of other names) are a blast to watch.
		Drum sounds can either be entered in real time (which means you bang away on the drum pads and record what that sounds like) or in step time (which means you arrange the drums step by step).
		In real time, the drum sounds can be quantitized, which means if your timing is a little off, it will move your drum hits to the closest ½ note, ¼ note, or whatever timing the drum machine will allow.

	Home Audio Journal: Drum Programming
		Even though I’ve been playing drums for more than half my life, this way of producing the sound is very different for me, and it takes a lot of effort.
		In practice for drum programming, this means that you don’t want all your notes at the same volume, and you probably don’t want to quantize them strictly.
		That is, the bass drum should be loudest (relatively — that doesn’t mean loud as hell constantly), then the snare drum, then the hi-hat softest.

		If you are unable to move, or consider yourself hopelessly beatless, there are always drum machines, and you can work one of those with a pencil in your mouth if you have managed to sprain both wrists somehow, so that is not a valid excuse either.
		If you already have a music track laid down, you can try to sync it up to your drum machine and figure out the tempo you want (some music reps insist on 120 for everything, but there are many camps that aren’t so picky).
		Do the same for the other drum parts, too, unless you are trying to start your own trend, or expect to catch some flak for not going along with industry norms.

		(I like to pan the bass and kick drum slightly off-center to opposite sides, so they don't get in each other's way.) If your recording gets knocked down to mono, or is played back on a mono device, the kick and snare will be completely lost unless they are near the center.
		Remember, when you are standing in front of a drum kit, you hear everything coming from a single source--very close to mono.
		If drum pads are not available to you, a keyboard or those little tiny pads on a drum machine will do.

		The drum machines were hard to operate (high learning curve) and produced very mechanical-sounding beats...probably why they were called drum MACHINES.
