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

It's basically like BTS mode, except that you don't have to use the 
factory beats, you can make up your own, or assign a part from a Pattern 
to be the phrase.  Yes, dropping acid and making music is a recipe for 
disaster, I'd get about 4 beats into a song and end up watching screen 
savers the rest of the night :)

RPS- Real Time Phrase Sequencing. i have this on my 909.  i still havnt 
gotten 
my command station, i am waiting to play with the px, before i buy one. 
basicaly with rps.  you can make a 4 measure loop, of anything you want. 
individual drum parts, or a whole drum loop, can be programmed to one 
button. 
then you can mute the parts that are already playing, and throw in a new 
loop. 
it can be a variation of the beat you have playing, or can be totaly 
different, 
and give your song a new feel.  you can program a new bass line, efx, 
drums, 
basicaly anything you want to RPS.  on the 909, you have multiple RPS 
banks all 
of which are user programmable, and can be called upon at any time.  this 
is an 
awsome feature for playing live, and for auditioning different drum loops 
in 
the studio.  also on the 505, you had the mega mix option, which let 
you(while 
your pattern is playing) pick the drum track(or any track) from a 
different 
pattern, and when your currently playing pattern looped over, the new drum 

track would play.  this made going from song to song very easy, because 
you 
could slowly mix in the part you wanted.  i am not sure if that is what 
the X-
mix is on the command stations.  if that is what x-mix is, then that is 
freakin 
fantastic, and i really cant wait to get my command station.  oh yeah 
something 
else i thought of, that is kinda important, at least for me.  is not too 
get 
extremely F-uped before you play live.  if you were in a band and only 
responsable for one insturment, then maybe its okay to f-uped.  but when 
you 
are in control of every insturment, it a may not be a good idea to drop 
that 
acid, and start eating those pills!!!

peace
