Xpantastic!

Hi Tony,

On of my favorite things to do: midi up my emu XL7 drum machine to my 
M12 and replace each drum with a patch I write from scratch. It seems 
I have to tweak the drums to get them to sound good together. Try 
using the ramps ( set to Zero ) instead of envelopes, the attack 
sounds faster to me. Use an envelope for the decay or put the ramp 
through a tracking generator.
Also, use a resonated (res set to max) 4PL filter for the bass drum, 
and I promise you the earth will shake. 
On bass and toms, use a ramp or envelope to sweep the frequency 
slightly. This gives the bending drum-head sound.

I still do not have midiOX running on my studio computer (no time) so 
I don't have a way to move ptches yet. 

BTW what ever happened to XevenT? I really liked the concept there.

Karl
