Same Prese, different Patterns?

2001-12-05 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

I guess I don't understand why you just can't save the Presets to 
different locations for each Pattern then?  You want to use the same 
preset, but want to assign different quick edits (effectively making it a 
new preset BTW) for each Pattern?  So save your your "common" Preset 
(named with different number after it for instance) for each Pattern in a 
new Preset Location.

Example, say you use a Preset called "Lead Line" in three different 
Patterns (we'll call the Pattern 1, Pattern 2 and Pattern 3 for this 
example).  In each Pattern, edit the preset's name to match the Pattern 
number.  So Pattern 1 would have a Preset called "Lead Line1", Pattern 2 
would use a Preset called "Lead Line2", etc....  After you rename each 
Prest, be sure to save it in a new loaction.  By saving the same preset to 
new User locations with different names, you effectively get three of the 
same Preset, with the name being the only thing different.  Just be sure 
to update the right track with the new location of the Preset you just 
renamed and saved as a new Preset, the XL-7 won't do this for you 
automatically.  Then resave the Pattern once you've done that.  Now you 
can go into each Pattern,and make your quick edits to the Preset how you 
want them, and then resave the Preset with those changes.  Just be sure to 
assign the new Preset location to the track you want, that won't change 
automatically for you. 

Make sense?  I can try again if it's too confusing.

when I use the same preset in different pattern or songs I don`t know what 
to to. in different pattern or songs the 
preset have different quick edits, but I can save this preset to only one 
location so that I have to remember me the quick edits for each 
pattern/song because I can`t save it for each pattern seperatly. thats my 
problem!
