Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

hehe none taken i kinda figured that if you went inthat menu alreasy
then you already knew how to use a synth but i was out of ideas and
wanted to make sure you knew what you were doing. as for what you want
to do, i really havent taken wave samples and extended them in
hardware before. but in wavelab i've taken an 808 drum and zoomed in
on the waveform and set a loop point that would make it loop until i
triggered a note off message.

was talking to a buddy about the best way to acheive this with vocals
yesterday and he said to try fading the same sample in and out. so
maybe the best way to acheive that on the xl-7(or whatever command
station) is to sequences a couple of kicks maybe 1/16 or 1/8 apart?
hen use the envelope to fade it in or out? but if you have an xl-7
shouldnt you be able to program your own? i have an mp-7 i think i
might be able to program one with it myself tho.

i have a bad memory and tho i did read your message i'm now cfonvinced
that you want to make a kick drum sustain. lol i will try to create my
own and if it works i'll let you know.
