hee hee, man that is just the kind of crazy shit my head is doing right now - and its more than just technical ideas but based on something I can sort of hear - its pattern based and conversational but never quite settles or agrees - ever onwards.. maybe autechre helped put this image in my head.... nice Richard and nice to see the use of the word Ace, Paul - its coming back I reckon BTW does anyone have any idea why I can't mail this list from outlook express - I have to use webmail - I use OE for every other thing I do but it fails to send to this list?????

I think it would make more sense to run them in parallel, perhaps upstream from a MIDI merger.<< mebbes not if you're working mostly on y'r own..... no, even then... maybe /especially/ then.... paul? waddya reckon? the p3 can do so many things by way of "cross-pollination" that it may appear to be unneccesary to attach even a controller keyboard- just a few auxes doing a bit of randomising, nicking notes from other tracks, that sort of thing. but that's like one kid in a play-pen on his own. one very bright kid, with many many coloured crayons, but still only one kid. now, imagine how much more fun it would be if this kid had a little friend. ahem. so upstream of the p3, there might now be a maq & a couple of keyboards. maybe even a peavey midibase (no, that's really how it's spelt. spelled. anyway.) while downstream there might be a regular synth with it's arpeggiator running. like, say, a memorymoog. the point of this particular arrangement is to let the person driving the maq have some influence over the p3 patterns occasionally, by waiting until he starts twiddling & then drop a corresponding track on the p3 into "record". one might also do this while he's mucking about on his keyboard too. besides, the maq & both keyboards (& the horrible pointy white bass guitar with the funny little window) are all getting FTS'd by the p3, meaning that one's audience are spared any unintentional blue notes. so most of the time, the two algorythmic note generators /are/ in parallel by virtue of the soft-thru (with or without FTS), & being merged with the p3's own track outputs. but this way you have the option of introducing a contribution to whatever degree you want: overwrite/play out a whole pattern/track, or leave your live-record track muted & influencing the active tracks via the auxes. I'm trying (vainly- probably need more spinach for this one) to create a midi schematic whereby the maq both influences & is influenced by the p3. how can I stop the maq transposing itself? I will figure this out presently..... I need to do this because the p3 is a guitar & the maq is a snare-drum, in terms of the skill & concentration required &, in the case of my band, available. :-) d. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YAHOO!
