Five ways to make patterns with the DB-01

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Starting with the bleedin' obvious and moving through to the "sounds bad now but wait a minute" method, here's five pattern creation techniques. Along the way there's a few extra tips and tricks including the rare "zero gate" option.

It's a bit long but I thought it was worthwhile to show the full process rather than just cut in all the bits that worked on the first attempt. Watching videos where everything works perfectly and then not being able to instantly replicate that success can be a bit disheartening so there's quite a bit of tweaking and deleting. Hopefully here the joy of just experimenting, looping, randomly deleting and poking comes through. Just delete the crap and keep going :D
