Newby still finding my way around the Krome ex 88. I need a drum pattern that is a slow 3/4 time (not “waltz”), almost feels like beating each measure in “one” if that makes sense. A hard first beat per measure. Any suggestions?

There is more than one way to get a syncopated drum pattern. The "slowness" will be set by the Tempo setting, using the Tempo knob, Tap Tempo button, or using the numeric keys to enter it into the Program or Combi itself in the Tempo box at top right of the main Play screen.

There is space on the Krome for 1000 User drum patterns. It's possible to record your own pattern, with syncopation to suit, in Sequencer mode and convert it to a Drum Pattern (see page 188 of the Parameter Guide).

Another method is to create an RPPR (Real Time Pattern play Recording) which can be triggered by a single key. This could either be one or more louder beats that could be played whilst a drum track is playing.

A third method might be to set up a Tempo-synced LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) to accentuate the first part of every bar in any drum track that is playing, by using the LFO as an AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) to one or more effects that have been assigned to the Drum track.
