Re: [DTXpress] What drums are used in the DigiTown loop?

2001-07-25 by Rick Kelsall

The breakbeat loops in the DTXpress ROM aren't
constructed using it's drum samples they are entire
breakbeat samples from a different source like the
voice samples and the helicopter etc.  The only way
you could play them or something resembling them is to
have slices of the breakbeat sample set up as sample
triggers on a remote MIDI device and then try
triggering them from the kit.  I don't think you can
play the drum sounds of the loops using the built in
drum sounds because they weren't made with the normal
DTX drum samples (well thats what I figured anyway :)
