Re: Tips & Tricks

2003-04-06 by hairytrigger

The pad-rim relationship is very 'touchy-feely.' You'll have to get 
used to it. But the only way I know to get rid of the choke function, 
is to assign a different pad type to the pad.Choose one that does not 
support the choke function.I use Misc.1 with great results.(push the 
'trigger' button, select pad the type here)

particularly interested in TIps & Tricks #6, about crossfading the 
bell with cymbal, so that hitting the top part of the ride cymbal pad 
(the more responsive part) will get more of a bell sound.  I'll try 
that out and let you know how I get on.

when you change to that song, the kit changes also?  The factory-set 
songs #1 thru #95 all do this, so I figure there must be a way.  Ed 
suggested I check the UT Midi Program Change Table Kit assignments in 
the Utilities menu.  So I went in and changed things around, but it 
made no difference.  When I changed from one song I had programmed to 
another, the brain still defaulted to Kit #40 GM std 1.  Am I missing 
out a step?
