My pipe has been working its magic again, today tinkering with some part transpositions, realtime record (note all that wild keyboard wanking that the P3 then resolves into sequences, obviously a deliberate ploy on my part to show the quantize, rather than anything more sinister

I don't know if this will help so feel free to ignore. It's just intended to illustrate some of the uses of the Global bar, Consecutive Part play etc. Everything can be done as it plays, of course. 1) Start with a new bank. Select part 1 (key 9) and track 1 (key 1). Make sure MID

Hi All, just getting together an order for the multitude of projects I find myself undertaking and I noticed something odd about the BOM Colin, i don't suppose it matters but it foxed me for a moment. The Rapid Electronics order code is usually of the form 08-0050. On the BOM you
