Re: [xl7] More OS ideas

2002-11-03 by ->Nobody<-

After a few days with my XL-7, I feel a little disappointed by the 
lack of more sophisticated editing functions on the sequencer (swap
tracks is sadly missed at the moment - cool to solve timing problem 
by exchanging low and high priority tracks). 

Basically what I have in mind (and hopefully I'm not the only one :)
would be to have something similar to my Roland XP50 sequencer (my 
only reference when it comes to hardware seq - sorry): 
for each 13 Types of function (ERASE, DELETE, COPY w/MIX or REPLACE,
INSERT, TRSNPOS, CHANGE VEL/CHN/GATE, MERGE, EXTRACT, SHIFT, THIN,
XCHANGE), you can mostly choose which track/pattern it will be applied
to (or ALL), the BAR RANGE, the CHANNEL or type of EVENT to be 
affected if relevant, and the NOTE RANGE. Not to mention Type specific
parameters (VEL RANGE for instance). And that's very cool. Very similar
to Cubase "logical editor" and much faster.

Don't get me wrong: I find the XL-7 OS to have some *really* clever
programming inside, a very very nice interface ans synth engine, 
mostly great sounds and drums, but it still lacks a lot in the sequencer
edit functions department IMHO, so far. Or maybe am I too much of a
Roland centric (after all these years) to get my way over another unit,
and that's why I'm stumbling all the time. :)

I want Drumkits and more sensible effect routing either (like the Roland
- again), but I'm afraid it won't happen anytime soon.
