More on Arp programming + New rEalm Tune (yes, again)

2002-05-14 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Do you like to experiment when programming, or do you prefer to have a 
goal in mind that you try to program. Like for instance a certain 
progression, melody or rythm. The reason I ask is because I am don`t know 
much theory and I was curious how much theory others are applying.

>>>I wish I had a simple answer for you, but in all honesty for me it's 
combination of experimentation, and knowing exactly what I'm after.  I 
taught myself music theory up to a college 4 level (borrowed friends' books), and while I rarely conciously use that 
knowledge now, I'm sure it's stuck with me and plays a small factor even 
at a subconcious level.  Typically I know what sound I want, and while 
trying to set up my arps to reflect that, I usually get side tracked and 
start experimenting along the way.  I'm the same way when it comes to 
synthesis and making my own Presets.  I start off with a goal and path in 
mind, but typically end up with somthing drastically different from that 
goal by the time I'm done. <<<

P.S. By the the way realm, I dig all your tunes, keep it up! peace thru 
music

That's definitely your best so far (well IMO anyway!). Maybe it's just the sort of music I like, but it really smacks with attitude, and the pecussion track is sooo detailed and well programmed. How much of that was done on the XL7? How long did it take you?
