steve:


yeah....we're back to my original dilemma.  missing out on xmix etc cause i still have the original OS and cant upgrade.  not going the pc route and only use windows at work.  using pro tools le at home on a mac powerpc G4 running 10.4.11.  


guess i'm keeping it old school minimal!


while i'm at it.  how  can i record arpeggiated loops that i test and like from the xl-7?  i've got the x-lead rom that came with it and added the TSCY and protean drum roms.  been getting back into it after the birth of my daughter.  always loved the amazing depth and sounds on here and the patch cords and filters are sick.


thx.

What Command Station OS do you have? If its not 2.0, you might want to find someone with a PC, or perhaps pick up an old Windows 98SE machine that someone is getting rid of, so you can run e-loader 1.1 and upgrade your OS.

> Very good sugestions. I was normali use different patterns to make transitions. Well i observe on my Alesis micron that there are some keys define with general transitions. Probably some arps on drum sets. Well the ideea was to make something similar on xl7 and to have on some buttons, maybe the trigger ones, some general transitions. In this way i can simplify the all process,./:)

In this way, the pattern will go now from 1 to 16, not to 1 to 8, and then, the transition you recorded at bar 16, will make its job.
