Copy the make drum beats sprite to your backpack to use this custom block. In this custom block, the user enters a text string of symbols which map onto drum sounds in Scratch 2.0: x = bass drum o = snare * = closed hi-hat - = open hi-hat _ = rest You can input a string of any length. The number after the string in the block is the beat division that you would like the rhythm to play back. For example, 16 = 16th notes, 8 = 8th notes, 4 = quarter notes, 2 = half notes & 1 = whole notes. The purpose of this block is to make it easier for users to input and play with drum patterns in Scratch. Try using the repeat block to create rhythms that repeat. Use multiple play drum beats blocks to create varying rhythms.
