Re: Recording multichannel arps from triggers

2004-08-10 by steve_the_composer

A year ago or so, I got into using Trigger Notes (latched) to turn 
arps on/off for developing a possible performance modality. I forgot 
entirely what I did, but I do notice that the trigger notes setup 
allows you to set the channel to Basic, C01A -> C16B (as well as to 
various destinations). 

Over the past few days, I have been wanting to set up my E-Mu so I 
can play tracks and triggers as arps, so I am ripe for testing your 
setup.

What are your channel settings for the triggers?

Intuitively, I am thinking of comparing rechannelize always and 
rechannelize on record to test your particular condition.

Have you tested both?  If so, any difference?
