hello I do realtime improvisation on a roland eg 101 groovekeyboard is it possible to drive the rx7 with the eg 101, so all those sounds of the rx7 transpose in realtime to the right key? right now I can trigger the rx7 to start at the same time the roland starts, but the speed is not ajusting at all. thanks for any help roger

All joking aside, I'm not *quite* sure I understand what you're asking, but I'll give it a shot. I assume you're trying to sync up the XL-7 tempo-wise to the EG 101. To do that, you'll need to have the EG101 transmit MIDI clock, and have the XL-7 sync to it (by dialing the tempo all the way counter-clockwise till it says "ext"). As far as the realtime transpose thing, the XL-7 doesn't do that. You could, however, have the EG 101 actually play the notes on the XL-7, but I have a feeling that's not what you were intending to do... -Aaron __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

you must be a proud owner of a supra twin turbo, the way you answered my e-mail, with the speed of light hello Aaron, thank you for your fast response. so does it mean that even the bass-line cannot be changed via keyboard from one key to another? I am new to this, having a jazz and classical background. the drum patterns are very exciting but why are there no harmony changes possible? I think it would be nice, that when I play an A mayor 7 chord all those interesting background noises would follow suit and do the same. thank you for your kind support, roger --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, Aaron Eppolito <synthesis77@y...> wrote:

It is a sequencer into which you can record your own tracks into. It's not really designed to create backing tracks on its own like a "Casio-style" keyboard. It does have an arpeggiator, but I'm sure that's not anywhere near what you're expecting. -Aaron __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.

: --- tetra_b <tetra_b@...> wrote: > I think it would be nice, that when I play an A mayor 7 chord > all those interesting background noises would follow suit Hello - I made some funky 8 bar one chord patterns when I first got my xl7. I play guitar a bit and couldn't resist a plugging in and playing along. Of course I soon wanted some good chord changes. Instead of sequencing a long song I'll make a 16 bar pattern in the root chord and on another track I will write an alternate chord pattern. This is usually sufficient for jamming around a simple chord pattern (just use the mute buttons). Of course if you write something complex you can assemble the whole thing in pieces using song mode. As mentioned earlier, this machine is not really designed as an accompanying instrument. They make gear that reads your chord changes for sure. My father uses one that does vocal harmony on the fly amazingly. I have a Yamaha personal musical assistant, pma-7 I believe. Using it's patterns and things I can program whole songs full of chord changes and all the instruments change accordingly. Only problem is that you have to use "it's" patterns. The xl7 is way more challenging and has far more possibilities. You can write the whole score, build every instrument from scratch and play/sequence every single note. Cut, paste, edit... try other instruments or wave forms, loop, mix...transpose some or all of the individual parts, edit every single note again and again. You do it all. There isn't any middle ground between the two types of machines as far as I know. The xl7 is a challenge but I like using it more and more each day. And 2.0 made it even better. Have fun. -S _______________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo http://search.yahoo.com Yahoo!
