Ok guys (and gals, if there are any), I've decided to post ALL of my XX-7 data for people to download. You can get it here: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/files/Command%20Station%20Data/ Why? Well as many of you know, I used the PX-7 primarily as my live sequencer, and of course now and then in my studio tracks. However, I've recently switched to doing my live sets with a laptop and Ableton Live (boo hiss, I know, I know) and therefore I want to start using the PX-7 in the studio from a clean slate. So, I backed up all my data, and then wiped everything in the memory. :) Anyway, the zip file contains all of my Presets, Patterns, and Multi's. Here's some more info on all of those to make them easier to use if want to: - PRESETS Banks 0 and 1 are completely full of my Presets, some I started from scratch, some are slight tweaks on the Factory Presets, though most are the results of hitting the Randomize Preset button repeatedly :) Bank 2 has some sounds in it if I remember correctly, though not many. Bank 3 is blank except for the last 16 Preset slots. These are the Trigger Presets I used for live percussion fills. If you load any of the "rEalm" Multi's, and then put the Track Mutes in Trigger mode, these should be assigned already. Keep in mind that I have the XL-7, P2500, World, and Protean Drum ROMS installed in my machine, so if you don't have one of those, then some of the patches may not play back. Oh well, something's better than nothing eh? - PATTERNS Bank 0 is all of my breaks and 4/4 Patterns, typically at 134-136 BPM's, Bank 1 is downtempo stuff around 107-117 BPM's, and Bank 2 has a half started DnB pattern :) Even if you can't load the Presets to play these back as intended, maybe you'll be able to get some ideas from them, or use the programming with your own sounds. In general my Patterns are organized as follows: Track 1 - BD Track 2 - Snare Track 3 - Closed HH Track 4 - Open HH Track 5 - Percussion/bongos Track 6 - Percussion/shakers Track 7 - Crash Track 8 - Empty, or contains note ons each measure for triggering my old SP808 loops (best to delete these). Track 9 - Bassline Track 10 - Pad Track 11- Misc sounds Track 12 - Leads Tracks 13 to 16 - Empty or misc stuff - MULTI'S Some of these are specific to my needs, ala the SX templates, or the Live (not as in Ableton) templates. Otherwise there's Multi's here for controlling various softsynths via the Knobs in Program Mode. Anyway, hope some of you find a use for this stuff, feel free to use it as you will. If you use any of it as is, just give proper credit! :) Have fun, and enjoy! rEalm The information transmitted is intended only for the person(s)or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged material.
