The folder names of the six categories have also been created to fit the DrumIt Five display, along with the type and BPM / Key.

Loop behaviours

Loops are single samples which are generally sensitive to double triggering. Here are some guideline to get you started.

Make sure you hit the pads and or the rims with hard single hits unless you play single shot loops which can be fun to re-trigger. You might need to adjust the Gain, Threshold and Trig curve on those triggers you intend to use as loop triggers for best performance. It can also be a good idea to raise the XTALK value to High for the triggers you assign the loops to.

Read about trig settings in the DrumIt Five user Manual

Creating your own loops?

To create your own loops download the “DrumItLoop.exe” PC tool and simply drag and drop your wave file ( the wave file needs to be pre-edited to the correct length ) on to the proprietary program, which will automatically create a .dsnd loop file and save it to the same location as your original file.
