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

hello to all group users... (no pun intended)
Just a quick question about preset edit in my MP-7. I'm trying to 
make a layered kick &  bass combo out of the same instrument. Is 
there a way to layer a single kick over the keypads. So my bass will 
have the same kick layered over the entire keys. Just let me know if 
ther is a way to make this happen...
peace,
dopeboydj

Hmm, unfortunately I don't think this is possible.  The drums samples used 
in the presets are tied to individual keys, so there's no way to 
automatically transpose it up and down the keyboard.  One workaround would 
be to set up a preset that uses only that kick on each layer (set the key 
range accordingly), and then just transpose each layer by +1.  This will 
get you that kick sound to play on 4 keys, if you used Preset Link mode 
and added 2 more of the same presets (transposed accordingly), you could 
get a full octave key range out of that that kick sound.

It depends.  If you use one of the kick instruments that has the same
kick stretched across the keyboard, you can turn on non-transpose, and
then the sample will play at unity pitch across its range.  Try it and
see on your drum presets (third press of the Chorus/Delay button will
get you to the screen.  why we didn't group it with Tuning, i have no
idea).  If there's a range where the kick stays the same, you should be
able to transpose it to the right range (using transpose, not tuning)
and add it as a layer to your bass preset.

What happens if you use non-transpose on a kit that has different 
instruments mapped across the keyboard?

Nothing.

All non-transpose does is say "don't hook Key to Pitch".  In the
Proteus line, Key to Pitch is a hidden patchcord (sort-of).

Try this:  take a blank preset and set non-transpose to true for layer
1.  then, scroll through instruments to find areas where the sound is
the same.  any range that is, you can use that instrument in your
preset (transposed to the right area of the keyboard).

PS.  this is also a good way to hear where the instruments are
multi-sampled...
