Hi,

Since there has been some negativity going on and the user-list is about to
change to tech-support (which it can be also, but not entirely because then
it would die sooner or later), I'm trying to change the topic. Do people
have any good general tips for MD or SID? For a start I can share these:

1. Since there isn't any availability to save individual drums I use to very
last kits (60-64) as a favourite kits. for example my kit number 64 is
called "fav bd/sd". I save my precious and best working bd's and sd's  to
that kit (8 bd and 8 sd). Then when I'm in a mood of trying to find good bd
for some pattern I might copy a machine from favourite kits and see if they
work. It's good also, because I have only 8 fav BD's, so when I create a new
and good sounding BD I must compare it to fav BD's and maybe erase some of
them. That way my Fav kit evolve over time (at least I hope so).

2. Have you guys and girls noticed that when you are in classic mode and you
a pattern playing that has different kit in extended mode and you switch to
extended mode while MD is playing you get a fabulous fill-in sounds and
something unpredictable beauty? Some times it's just modulating noise and
sometimes it's cool electronic sounds. I love that feature and it's a shame
that you cannot write it in songs. :(

Anyone have any other good tips?

Toni.
