RPS

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 :)

Subject: Re: [xl7] Re: Playing live tips 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 To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: xl7-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
