Kudos to rEalm for compiling Tips and Tricks v. 1.00.  Thanks to the 
contributors for sharing TnTs. I can't wait to try out a few sound 
design tips!

[BTW, if the link doesn't work, just go to the Files section.] 

I'd be interested in TnTs from other Commanders, esp. ones that 
demonstrate (1) specific performance techniques, (2) preset effects 
using patch cords, and (3) approaches for using multis.

Finally, I have to give credit to rEalm for some tips I learned 
working on the problem of restoring multis: 

(1)  Organization tip: Multis
Organize your multis in functional banks.  For example:
000 -> 009 could be for basic studio/performance modes
010 -> 019 could be for external gear controller asignments
020 -> 039 could be for song/performance specific setups
055 -> 059 could be for saving temporary setups before powering
           down the Command Station.
etc.

(2)  Setup/Performance Tip:
When using latched notes to trigger arps [using trigger buttons], 
asign them to B channels if your patterns/sequences use A channels.

Perhaps these and other user ideas will appear in the next edition 
of "E-Mu TnT".

Dr. Steve
