Step Sequencing with SI-Drums

 I have laid out a basic Bass Drum and Snare track using SI Drum step sequencer. The track in the sequencer is 4 bars long with 8 steps per bar. when I go to play the track it plays the 4 bars, as 1 bar. How do I get it to play as 4 bars at 90 bpm. I have attach pic of my step sequencer. Can anyone help me with this.

    The step sequencer is fine. Your issue is one of semantics regarding terminology. In your image you have ONE measure/bar set to 4 BEATS per measure. The entire image you are showing is one measure aka bar. If you wanted to create 4 bars of this beat you would simply drag 4 instances of it on your timeline. i hope that makes sense. I don't think the step sequencer has the ability to set number of measures since it is imply repeating itself.

    Just to expand on what dubdisciple said: you would have to change the "Beats" to 16 to be 4 bars of 4/4 time. But I don't think the display will show the bars ... it will be one pattern that is 16 beats long.

    The "Steps" determines the subdivision of the beat. So in your example, you have Steps=8 which will give you a resolution of 32nd notes. Chances are you will want to make this number smaller ... either 2 for 8th notes, 3 for 8th note triplets, or 4 for 16ths.
