Whats up,

Quick question for the 128xl users. Does the sequencer read FX changes?

Screen-related features aside, I know there are a few subtle differences between 128XL & OS3. OS3 doesn't read FX changes but i noticed on a 128 screen shot it says "Effect 1" somewhere.

edit: I have my answer JJ's 128 xl manual says:
"OS3 cannot perform selection of an effect set"

Hey Man!

I'm good thanks. Ive been pretty quiet round here recently, do but pop in to check things out. How are you?

I don't have a big screen but have been considering it and looking into it. After playing with OS3 a little I think Im going to stick with OS2xl though. For some of the features that I like I sort of have work arounds for on 2XL, but I can't think of work arounds for the features I would lose.

I'm fine thx. I still listen to your EP from time to time :) Do you plan to release something else on wax? New videos on Youtube?

If you buy a big screen keep me updated. I think my workflow isn't too far from yours so there's always something to learn from you.

Thanks for asking man and thanks for the support when the album dropped too!
I have got some new stuff in the pipeline. I used to do music full time (including music teaching) but that changed about 2 years ago so I have less time for finishing stuff off etc. I'll hopefully get some new videos up too - they're more likely to be MPC tips than live stuff at the moment. Ive been experimenting a lot with MIDI to button combined with pad pattern for instance.

hey mikolo, sorry i dont have an answer to your question either, but just out of curiousity, why do you like os2xl better than os3?

i currently have os2xl, and like it, but a few feaures on 3 look pretty tempting, although i havent looked at it for awhile.
