Ran across this on another site, it's probably one of the best things I've 
found online ever.  Very short and to the point explaination of the basics 
(and not so basics) of music theory.  Very well written, informative, and 
even funny in some parts.  If you thought it was too hard to learn, or you 
don't need to know this for electronic music (or like me you just want a 
refresher), I HIGHLY recommend this.

yo bro, u  got any quick and dirties, for creating yer own presets outta 
waveforms?  thx again, and i dont feeling like digging it outta the yahoo 
archives.  sorry for troubling ya but if i remember, i had a couple created before and 
they were wicked!!

godspeed..

Yeah, go into Preset Edit and go to the second screen.  Here's you can 
select a waveform (instrument in Emu speak).  There, now you've made a 
Preset out of a waveform!  :)

Seriously though, that's probably about as vague of a question as you 
could possibly ask!  Along the lines of:

- How do I get a supermodel for a girlfriend?
- How do I make my car faster?
- How do I write a #1 hit song?
- What's the best synth?
- Why doesn't anything rhyme with orange?

Give me a bit more info about what you're trying to achieve, and I'll see 
what I can do on Monday.   :)

yeah..i guess i was thinking along the lines of not using any factory  
presets.  just creating my own.  
 
more later..

and those other questions arent vague!!  c'mon...u make yer car go  faster by 
hitting the accelerator.  u get a #1 song by writing schlock and  shoving it 
down the gullets of the gullible public.  and u get a supermodel  by employing 
wealth and power!!!
 
out....

I think you'll find that these two are inextricably linked.

Actually, now that I think about it, these might be too...

I would encourage you to create your own  presets.  There is so much 
potential with the P2K synth engine.   There have been several 
discusions here on designing your own presets  using patchcords and 
other features of the synth engine.

I  encourage you to search the archives.  Perhaps use the key word  
patchcords.  If nothing is found, keep pressing Next 40 to search  
back.  (Unfortunately, Yahoo searches in small chunks.)

If you  do this and you find stuff on preset design, I have a 
suggestion:  If  you cut and past the urls of the start of each thread 
into a simple text  file, once you are done, you can copy the list to 
a post.

If you  give it a name like patchcords, preset design, snth engine, 
then it should  be easier for other to find.  It is kinda like having 
a running  index.

One of Aaron's posts on this subject was designing a preset  (using 
patchcords) to simulate the pitches sliding down a bass guitar  frett 
board (if I remember correctly).  

When someone else  wanted to use the automatic wah of a factory 
preset, I dissected the  effect and wrote some tutorials on how to do 
this and how to create other  effects.

Unfortunately, I think, most people think of effects as the  global 
FXA/FXB processor.  However, you can create all kinds of synth  engine 
effects using patchcords.  Using oscillators for automatic  vibrato, 
tremolo, wah, etc. are simple effects. You can also use layers to  
create key, velocity, realtime CC, etc. crossfades/switches.

I  suggest stretching your creativity by selecting one ROM Instrument 
[aka  sample, waveform] on one layer, giving it a volume envelope, 
then gowing  through each of the patchcords [using MidiA knob or an 
oscillator, for  example] to see what each does.

I think rEalm may have been put off by  your comment about not wanting 
to search the archives.  (Maybe not.)  Hence, the flip response.    

Hope this  helps.

hey, no offence taken bro.  i just remember a bit back printing out  some of
