Re: [xl7] what's your favorite feature & how do you use it

2011-02-04 by Matt

I like to use repeat for drum fills and rolls do it first on 8th then 16th then 32nd and intersperse it layered on the same snare or hat drum sound
I like to use knob and pitch automation to make patterns weird
I like to use pan automation
I just have the sequencer record knob turns.
I like using MIDI reroute to route stuff to external modules.
I like using quantize with weird shuffle like 65% on ethnic drums for shuffley tribal rythms while keeping a non shuffley rhythm quantized in another track to switch back and fourth to change it up.

I make arpeggiated spacey hip hop.

Things I want to learn how to do:
Cords... I know there's juicy stuff in here.
Route arpeggiator controls to knob and touch strip for automagic scaled solos
Chaining patterns like scenes in Another Sequencer
How program change works and sysex works to make control of other modules easier
How eloader works
multisetups
tuning tables
