Re: Making drones

nice category!

Re: backing up onto the cf card

thanks for clarity dman,

i was confused about this issue too. they don't make it clear in the manual exactly what is backed up. i figured since banks a/b were the "internal" memory that it was the other banks that were saved to the back-up while a/b remained the same. i guess i'm thinking in sp 303 ...

Re: Drum programming tips?

i noticed some producers will take a snare and eq it a lil bit and use one of them on the 2, and the other on the 4. the two slightly different sounds give it a real subtle swing.
