GarageBand is an excellent, free option for MacOS users, so we'll take a look at how to set it up here.

Play!

Now, press the yellow Start/Stop button on your 16-Step Drum Sequencer -- it will start running, sending MIDI note messages to play the drum kit you selected!

Try turning the encoder knob to change the tempo.

Then, click and hold the encoder knob button to switch into track mode. The display will show the name of your current drum track -- initially Bass. 

Click the step switches to change which steps will trigger the bass/kick drum.

Turn the encoder knob and you can move among the preset drum tracks. Try changing the step patterns on each track!

These are the tracks:

1. Bass
2. Snare
3. Low Tom
4. Medium Tom
5. High Tom
6. Clave
7. Clap
