Whats up guys im new to the hardware scene but not to music at all thoe....I was looking at getting a Juno G to start of with because its cheap and it has the same Fantom X sound Engine. But anyways I have a few questions, If I make a pattern of say Drums and I make that 4 bar loop but then I go and make a second pattern say pianos and I make that an 8 bar loop will my drum pattern follow (LOOP) along with the 8 bar loop os pianos? or will I have to make a 4 bar loop of drums then copy and paste the that 4 bar loop and make it into an 8 bar loop? Second I dont know if u guys have heard that song by T.I. Called "We Do This" off his new album the Runners did the Beat but they hae this certain snare roll inside the beat at certain points like a drummer snare roll like in a marching band.. What Quantization is that? I know they did that on the Mpc but what did they Quantize it on? If u haven heard it go on youtube or Imeem and look it up and Listen to it. Please and thank you....

If you were to do a 4 bar drum and 8 bar piano then u would have to copy that 4 bar drum once to match 8 bars. So bar 1-4(drums) would copy over starting at bar 5 and that would go up to 8. Real simple.

I didnt listen to that T.I. song but more than likely it prolly was one of those Southern snare rolls. They prolly used 1/32 cause thats wat i use to get fast snare rolls.
