*LoL*
Looks like I'm not the only one that thought of the patch
with links idea.
Anyhow, how do yo ulike the MachineDrum? I've been
thinking heavily about getting one in the future but I'm still shaky on the
idea.
;
Also, in regard to the XL-7 in regard to drumming, I've
actually been able to squeeze some pretty interesting drum patches out of
it.
I won't go into detail here (if someone would like me to
later, I'll see about doing a more detailed write up on it), but I will say
first off
that the drums I've looked at developing have been more
along electronic sounding line than real life (which where real drums are
concerned, I just assume sample those). Anyhow, there are all sorts of
interesting modulations you can setup with the Command Station as I'm sure you
all know. At times, this actually can be used to implement degrees of FM
synthesis. One should keep this in mind, as such can help a long way
when looking at creating drum patches (espcially cymbal crashes and such).
God only knows why I do this, with the exception of one, every time I've
obtained a Rompler type synth, I start going about trying to figure out how to
get the damn thing to sound analouge; checking out how closely I can get it to
mimic analouge gear. Anyhow, I'll say for the XL-7, the results I got out
of it startled me more than just a little.......a whole hell of a lot to tell
the truth. Literally, to a degree (though I know it 's not), I actually
look at the damn thing as being a VA at times.
Anyhow, with the degree that it's able to emulate analouge
and with some FM ability already lying there (not to mention a billion other
waveform types for you to mess with outside of basic squares, triangles, etc.),
just look at the thing as a drum synth. You really will probably be
surprised at how well it will respond to you in acting as such. Then of
course, you can always use the drums you've created in drumkits.

indeed, a painless way to do it would be great.
in the meantime, I have found that clever use
of the 4-layer architecture with linked patches
can get you a custom drumkit that is exactly
as you like.
that said, I use a MachineDrum or Nord Modular
for drums most days, and leave the XL-7 to do
what it does best...drums not being one of them. ;)
