I tried using the search function to find any tips on layering drums on the 60, but I have had no luck.Can anyone provide me with some tips on how to layer drums on the 60. Can this even be done? I'm not sure if I'm missing something

wouldn't you just overdub that sequence with some other drum sounds? like another kick and snare sound?

simultaneus pads. Read your manual.

I'm looking at the v3.10 pdf manual right now and it does not mention anything about simultaneous pads. Can you point me to what page it's located on. By the way, I did look at the manual before posting because I didn't want to waste peoples time by posting some nonsense up in here.

OK very good. not sure what page it's on, but it's in there, near where note cutoff and mono /poly/ note off are described.

Okay...here are my findings. Does this seem right?

3. NOTE OFF: When the pad is released (or a MIDI Note Off
message is received), the sound is terminated. This is useful
for gating long samples.

• The two Cutoff fields:
Each of these two fields allows a note number to be entered. Whenever
the note selected in the top line’s Note field is played, then any currently
playing sounds assigned to either of the note numbers in these two fields
are immediately terminated.
This is useful when it is desirable for one sound to cause
another to stop playing, such as a closed hi-hat stopping an open hi-hat,
or a muted triangle stopping an open triangle.
Each of these two fields allows a note number to be entered
(35–98). In each case, the pad currently assigned to that note number is
displayed to its right. To disable this feature in either or both fields, enter
a note lower than 35 and “--/OFF” will appear in the field indicating that
no note is selected to be cut off.

yup, it's right there, look for simul.

You should get to know that manual very well, I ain't about to dig through it to get you a page number.

My bad man...I finally found it. I was scrolling too fast and I missed it. If anyone else needs that info, it's on page 112-113 of the v3.10 manual.

isn't the 60 just so damn fat....?

I gave up the EMAX by the way.....sticking to my guns.....good ol' faithful S950---- i'm just born to use this machine... the EMAX is simply not for me. Great fun but takes far too long to do what I do on the 950.

well you gave it a fair shot. The sound is what hooked me, and I like the interface a lot. But we definitly have different sampling styles, so I can hear where you are coming from. Sometimes gearlust can show us how great the stuff we already have it.

yo elmac, have you ever used a e6400 before? what'd ya think of it?

By elmacaco Wed Feb 16, 2005 8:50 pm
nope, I hear it's real dope, the standard for Drum and bass for a long time.
