Many of you may know this already, and many of you may not. I figured I'd spread some knowledge so here it is.
If you want to do the dope step up / roll patterns Buckwild and Finesse were doing back in 94-96 fairly often all you have to do is this.
First, go to the menu screen where you can switch 16 levels/tunings. Switch it to levels if it's not already on that (velocity).
Instead of manually programing all your rolls in step edit (or real time), have your sequencer looping a drum pattern. Something basic just to execute what i'm saying. So set your quantization how you want it, your swing, and your tempo etc.
Turn 16 levels on (hit your snare pad so it spreads across the pads), then turn full velocity off. Now your pads should range from loudest on the upper right pad, to lowest on the bottom left pad.
Activate your drum sequence and have it in overdub mode. Once you've done this the rest is cake.
Select the pad you want to use for the roll, (I typically use the upper right corner pad or one of the ones on that row, but each track will dictate what you decide to do) then, while the sequence is looping in overdub, apply heavy pressure to the drum pad of choice. Slowly release pressure as you build up the fill. What happens is the 60 does this ill snare roll build up that sounds like rapid 1/4, 1/4 notes that lead to the full note snare pap. It sounds real natural and I prefered it 95% of the time too manually programmed rolls.
Experiment and let me know if anyone ends up benefiting from this tip. Also, experiment with horb stabs or any stabs using the same trick. Works great for a ghetto tempo delay too.
--2000/XL users. Sorry but this trick does not work on these machines. The 2000/XL used a very standard note repeat function, in comparison to the time correct key on the 60. When this trick is applied on them, it doesn't sound near as good, or similar for that matter.
