I wanted to know how to make a song. I have my song broken into different patterns. Such as a patteren for the chorus and another pattern for the verse.... etc..... how do I get the XL-7 to string them up? All I have been doing is changing the patterns while its plays another pattern and pressing "home". Then it palys into that pattern when the previous pattern is done. tcdave

By todays standards everything is dated as soon as it is released but sooner or later dated becomes the in thing again. Im looking forward to getting the Sounds of the ZR rom as well as Beat Garden and Proteus Pop Collection eventually. Sorry I cant help with your song question as Ive not even covered that myself.

well, we have a pretty good synth architecture in the xl, even with those dated presets, i would think you could make something pretty 'new'...i'm only beginning to get into its many different filters and stuff...cool and weird stuff can happen...fun. i guess used creatively, just about anything can sound 'new'...maybe i'm a bit strange, but as soon as i fiddle with a synth...in the stores or anywhere else, i start messing with the settings and such...presets never quite feel 'right' to me...hmm...well, back to the beats...

Well you're not the only one. I very rarely leave a preset unedited on any piece. I think it is a combination of wanting something unique and looking to make something sound better. Presets often sound somewhat generic to me as if they are meant to be tweaked. "The really pro patches are hard to improve" It's not surprising that non synth players often do not share this view. For example quite a few guitarists I know would never think of editing a patch and are much more focused on the sound's melodic placement. It is similar IMHO to the way I view effects as part of the sound rather than a dressing a lot of times adding reverb to a snare will change the direction of an entire pattern for me. I remember an experiment me and friend had with his notron and the attack. Just by changing kits and leaving the pattern the same would change the style completely from rock to dub for example.

Well, on a ROMpler like these boxes, I must say I don't change much in the way of presets and I am a guitarist. There doesn't seem much point to me. So many sounds, so many very good. Spend the time playing. I do like to fuck with the output using a KAOSS pad or my Lexicon MPX1 though. On the other hand, I have a Korg MS2000R and I do like to edit patches on that. It's a totally different animal though. Much more tweakable IMO. Mark --- Patrick Dohman <pdohman@...> wrote: > Well you're not the only one. I very rarely leave a > preset unedited on > any piece.

DigiD, Thanks for you help. You were the only one out of 5 replys to mention anything about my initial problem. I cant believe that no one has any idea how ot make patterns string up into a song. tcdave --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "DigiD" <digitaldisbeliever@e...> wrote: > By todays standards everything is dated as soon as it is released but > sooner or later dated becomes the in thing again.

Page 82 of the manual. Press Song Select Blank Song Press record twice. Turn big knob to select pattern for step one. Press enter. Continue adding patterns using steps above. When done turn big knob to stop. P.S my email has had problems all weekend so this might post twice Later Patrick --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "tcdave" <davedude_92692@y...> wrote: > DigiD, > > Thanks for you help.
