Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I haven't posted in along time but fellaz I have a few questions 
about the grid recording feature inside of my MP-7. I've had it for 
about 9months now and been making some of the best hip-hop and dirty 
south tracks the world has ever heard but I'm look into more diverse 
recording ideas. I love making other styles of tracks(house, 
drum'n'bass, progressive stuff...)but I feel limited by the kits 
inside the Mo'Phatt ROM. Also I need some tips with grid recording 
and other ideas for other styles.

only one layer of a multi-layer Drum Preset (or filtering each layer 
differently!) you can radically change the way they sound. <<<

>>>What specifically are you looking for though?  If I was to offer a tip, 
try programming your drum sounds by hitting the pads in real time, versus 
grid reording them.  Especially HH's, which benefit the most from this as 
it adds nice variation to the pattern.  If you get a bit mroe specific 
with what you're looking for, I'm sure we can help!  :) <<<

I've always recorded sequences in real time and I  never ever use 
grid record before but if there quick crash course to help or maybe 
you can tell me if it will benefit me at all(pros/cons).

I think Grid Recording is really good for laying out drum pattern ideas 
quickly.  Since it's very easy to try out different sequences, you can 
easily move notes around and play with the timing of drum parts.  Once 
you're in Grid mode, just press a pad to select that sound, and then press 
one of the Track Mute buttons to assign it to that position on a 16th note 
grid.  Basically, each Track Mute button represents 1/16th of a measure, 
very similar to the Roland way of doing things ala the TR808/909.  So a 
typical 4/4 kick drum pattern would have track mutes 1, 5, 9, and 13 lit.

Best bet to get up to speed on this feature, is to use a 1 measure 
pattern, and then just try to make a short drum pattern.
