Re: [xl7] Re: Grid Recording Newbie Style

I think Grid Recording is really good for laying out drum pattern ideas 
quickly.  Since it's very easy to try out different sequences, you can 
easily move notes around and play with the timing of drum parts.  Once 
you're in Grid mode, just press a pad to select that sound, and then press 
one of the Track Mute buttons to assign it to that position on a 16th note 
grid.  Basically, each Track Mute button represents 1/16th of a measure, 
very similar to the Roland way of doing things ala the TR808/909.  So a 
typical 4/4 kick drum pattern would have track mutes 1, 5, 9, and 13 lit.

Best bet to get up to speed on this feature, is to use a 1 measure 
pattern, and then just try to make a short drum pattern.

I've always recorded sequences in real time and I  never ever use grid 
record before but if there quick crash course to help or maybe you can 
tell me if it will benefit me at all(pros/cons).
