MD + MnM suggestion
2004-01-05 by Joe
Okay, so my idea is that there is some sort of "kit link" or "kit follow" mode in these two wonderous machines. The feature of such a mode would be to link similar machines between the two kits so that such machines are not re-loaded when the new kit is loaded. For example...say you are using kit "A" in the Monomachine in one part of a song and then later on in the song you want to change to kit "B"; BUT half of kit B was created by simply copying kit A and the other half utilizes new machines/settings. Now imagine that you also want to tweak some of the machines (the ones that are identical in both kits) during the first part of the song. These changes only affect kit A, so now when you change kit B later in the song, those tweaks are gone when kit B is loaded and the shared machines revert back to their saved settings. Does this ever happen to anyone else? Because it happens to me all the time, expecially when using the MnM, because it has fewer tracks than the MD. Anyway, what the proposed feature would do is link the two kits together such that any machine that is "shared" between the two won't be loaded when the two kits are loaded consecutively. Perhaps the shared machines can be specified by the user when setting up the linking, I don't know... I think it's a useful idea, especially given the liveness of this machine. What does everyone else think? Daniel, is this even possible? Joe.
