Re: [DTXpress] Re: main volume too low!

2004-03-29 by Ken

William,
I have wanted to do this so I would like to know how to go about layering/assigning 2 voices to the pads. Can any 2 voices be chosen or does it have to be the ones with the bullet marker on the list of voices? Can you (or anyone) provide a sequence of steps to accomplish this? i.e. an example assigning a couple of voices to a tom pad.
Thanks, Ken

Hmmm, I seem to remember thinking the same thing when I first got my
Dtxpress Mk1 4 years ago.
The 'pre-programmed' drums trigger at maximum it always seemed to me
and no matter how hard you hit the pads you don't seem to quite
reach the same level. You can play about with the
triggering/sensitivity for the pads and check if the master kit
volume is at 127, but unless something has markedly changed for the
newer versions then it comes down to balancing the volume levels.
I've always found as well that some sounds are much 'bigger' than
others - also layering the toms with 2 voices for example produces a
much better output with more oomph. I use 2 voices on every pad for
this reason.
The provided songs can't be edited or copied to the user area for
editing as far as I know (?) - so you can't change the 'Repeat=off'
parameter.

Hope that's some help.

regards,
William
