Hi,
I've been watching this thread and have a question.
I use among other synths and samplers, the sillicon
mallet.........Could i somehow burn some chips of my most commonly
used sounds from other instruments and install them in my mallet?
As it stands now, I trigger sounds from my Yamaha TX816 and my KurzPX
and SX1000 rack modules via midi.
It would be great to have these sounds in the mallet instead of
carrying the xtra rack.
I dont know much about burning chips, but I do know that my Kurz 1000
modules are ROM players with additional features like filters and
envelopes......the chips themselves are blown from the K250 and
installed in the rack boxes...in fact, the chips can be exchanged from
one rack box to another.
The only other way I know of to lighten my load is to sample all of
the sounds I need from each instrumet and carry a rack sampler.
Any ideas.
Derrick
