just my opinion?

Hi, If you record realtime controller data, should the Quick edit controllers be set to the initial controllers or not? I\ufffd\ufffdm not sure if it changes anything, I think it comes out the same....but... That\ufffds that MAX/MSP, please tell me more. So that I use the XL-7 for some time here\ufffds my opinion: (and it\ufffd\ufffds not too good) -Take a Roland 303, there\ufffd\ufffds the way to change more controllerdata than just velocity using grid edit, so that fact is bullshit. -Using realtime record on XL-7 changing controllers is not to comfortable, what you also hear is the turning of knobs, (don\ufffdt want to hear that sometimes) so if I have done a new track with a controller movement and I make a second pattern recording new controller data on same channel, same controller but other track, now it can really get to bad parameterbreaks, cause you really don\ufffdt know exactly where that contoller is at the moment, sorry, but that\ufffds all bullshit, too. I\ufffdm using Logic instead to record controllers, perhaps I bring it back sometimes, but that\ufffds just so unmusical process. Using a SQ-16-3 in Logic is more comfortable. -Recording pan and volume, hmmm, I\ufffdm doing that on my mixer, brings more fun or modulating pan and volume. - The Effect unit, don\ufffdt talk about that, take a Korg Kaoss Pad and you know what I mean, the only thing I use it for to add some hall or delay, but there\ufffds the problem of no dry signal, here is no good way to make a flexible effect control, really , really old technique from E-MU. -The grid edit don\ufffdt works on external sources, the note always goes back to C-1, obviously a mistake in the software. So, why I bought that? 1. I\ufffdm a beginner and did not know too much about sequencing that time. 2. The modulating architecture of E-MU is the most professional one, that\ufffds a fact, you can do everything with everything to everything, brilliant. 3. Filterarchitecture is great, too. But (don\ufffdt be sad) I think it could become a really good one, cause that\ufffds all depending on the software, I hope a lot it\ufffds changing at an update, and I hope they do the right things, Cy, Christoph "Techno?
