RE: [xl7] Re: Effect Send Cord?

2013-11-30 by Scott E. Whitehead

Thank you Steve and Matt.� The track 16 fx solution is just the sort of creative problem solving I hoped for.� Looking at it more and at the second PatchCords menu, which I didn\u2019t understand at first, I have to imagine EMU knew they had a design problem that needed fixing.� Makes so much sense now.� And hard-setting MIDI channels to outs (as mentioned in Steve\u2019s link) saves time and keeps it consistent.� I donR17;t suppose I can connect a knob to \u2018feedback\u2019\u2026� Nikita, Steve\u2019s email has a long-form walk-through but if you hit a snag, PM me.

The first question folks ask me when I talk about my EMU is \u2018can you burn your own samples?\u2019� Gotcha on the price of blank ROMs.� Go figure.� The synth engine is so good that I\u2019ll get by for sure once I master these envelopes.  More of a \u2018neat to have\u2019, I suppose. �And the basses sound great.� I\u2019m really looking forward to practicing on a big system to see how they hold up.

Is anyone able to connect Proteum/Prodatum on Windows 7 from USB?� E-Loader I got, but I don\u2019t know what to use it for beyond backups.

Thanks,

Scott

The discussions here (and in those threads) might be useful to you. The second one points to two additional posts.

I am not at my gear now, but I believe the FXA/FXB sends can be found in the preset patchcords (i.e., global, non-layer level patchcords).

Hope this helps.

Steve

PS: Once you master this, there might be advanced things you can do with embedded sysex.

Also (and I know I wrote about this), sometimes people limit themselves to thinking of FX as the FXA/FXB chips; however, you can achieve a lot of FX with the P2K synth engine itself.
