Create An Original Drum Pattern On Soundtrap

scroll to the bottom for a step-by-step video

Step 1: Enter the music studio in Soundtrap and click on ‘add new track’

Step 2: Select ‘Drums & Beats’ and experiment with patterns

You will notice a number of purple squares organized into rows. Each row has a specific drum sound you can work with such as kick, snare, and hihat. Each square indicates 1/16 note and are organized in groups of 4.

Step 3: Simply click on a square in the respectful row for the sounds you wish to use in the pattern. If you wish to unhighlight the square, click on it again.

Step 4: The loop will appear in the composition window, separated by measures. If you want to make a longer pattern, drag the purple bar and extend it to the right. 

If you’d like to add another drum, simply click on the ‘+ Add’ button in the bottom left corner.
